The stories about 10x engineers never include:
• Adding meaningful test coverage
• Updating outdated README sections
• Mentoring junior engineers
• Listening to burned-out coworkers
• Improving on-call runbooks

No glory in these things, but those that do them are the ones you desperately want to keep.

They plant trees they don't expect to sit under.
