Over 16 years of educating, tutoring and mentoring developers I have recognized ten habits that differentiate 10x developers from others. 10x developers:

  1. Take insane amount of notes

2. Start to code only when they gather all information and requirements needed to implement a feature

3. First reproduce the bug before looking into the code

4. Validate results early and often with all stakeholders

5. Effectively manage incoming messages and tasks
