This whole 10X developer thing is wrong! MERITOCRACY BIAS: INDIVIDUAL EXPLANATIONS ARE MORE COGNITIVELY ACCESSIBLE SO WE DISCOUNT TRUE SYSTEMIC EXPLANATIONS Hadden et al., 2025 MERITOCRACY MESSAGES IN ORGANIZATIONS MAKE MANAGERS MORE BIASED WHEN EVALUATING PERFORMANCE Castilla & Benard, 2010 "10X" PROGRAMMER MYTH BASED ON POOR EVIDENCE FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Hicks & Hevesi, 2024
Surveyed more than 5000 developers and managers in more than 12 industries. Cumulative cultures had a lower percentage of developers with AI skill threat than lone genius cultures. Hicks, C. M., Lee, C. S., & Foster-Marks, K. (2025). The New Developer: Al Skill Threat, Identity Change & Developer Thriving in the Transition to Al-Assisted Software Development.
Mindset by context Seed: an adaptive psychological belief/perspective creates resilient behavior cycles Soil: social context affords the adaptive belief, allows our continual "hypothesis testing" to validate the new belief Metaphor from Walton, Gregory M., and David S. Yeager. "Seed and soil: Psychological affordances in contexts help to explain where wise interventions succeed or fail." Current Directions in Psychological Science 29.3 (2020): 219-226.
The performance paradoc 1. IN OUR COGNITION PERFORMANCE != LEARNING Soderstrom & Bjork, 2015 Bjork et al., 2013 Bjork & Bjork, 2019 2. IN OUR CAREERS FIXATING ON DEMONSTRATING PERFORMANCE MAKES US FRAGILE UNDER PRESSURE Pintrich, 2000 Darnon et al., 2007 Elliot & Church, 1997 3. IN OUR COMMUNITIES A FOCUS ON "BRILLIANCE" DECREASES FIELD INNOVATION & RECOGNITION OF TALENT Cimpian & Leslie, 2017 Bian et al., 2018
Plot from a paper "Developer Thriving: Can the LABS model show that cumulative cultures teams win on productivity?" Lots of dots on a plot of productivity vs developer thriving, with a trend toward the top-right quadrant. Labs is defined as learning culture, agency, belonging, and self-efficacy & motivation
Psych affordanced that signal we can engage in cumulative culture: Learning culture, sense of agency, self-efficacy & motivation, sense of belonging. Text is shown on top of a pleasant field of flowers.
WE ASK "What does it mean to be a productive/successful developer here?" WE EXPERIMENT What narratives and actions are possible *in this place* and *for me*? WE CALIBRATE Our behaviors & the social-psychological messages we send to others
