10x engineers are not 10x because they built a complex system; they are 10x because they almost always tend to find simple, stable, and manageable solutions to complex problems. To become one,

1. operate with extreme ownership
2. be curious with a high bias for action
3. be a problem solver and not a complainer
4. do not remain confined to some syllabus or curriculum
5. have an innate passion for the domain you are operating in
6. and most importantly understand business >> product >> engineering
