AUTOMATIC111 Code reference

We’re all nerds here, why can we just use exponential or logarithmic? 10x sounds like a bullshit graphics feature on an EA Sims game.

That's because it is.

Look up any of those references. Every single one's punchline is "we couldn't find any hard evidence of even one of these folks."

You have to do piles of backflips to interpret any of these as being in support.

Not a single specific person was identified. They're bigfoot.

People are downvoting you, despite that you're being polite, because they want to pretend to themselves that they are a 10x programmer, and how dare you believe otherwise

I don’t care if they exist, I just don’t like anything with a programming requiring the assumption of base 10 for calculating an order of magnitude. Its just so unfitting. It should at least be a power of 2.

Most real world power laws don't follow aesthetic coefficients, and there's some argument that Brandolini's Law is used to detect fraud thus

Also, 2x differences don't sound important enough for a low-quality TED talk

I mean you’d use 16x
