Ninja vs. Rockstar vs. 10x Developer

Fyodor - Nov 7 '20 - - Dev Community

I'm working on a simple open-source learning platform for developer teams. It is an application for web and mobile in the end, and I'm planning to enrich the user experience for this platform with gamification.

Particularly, I consider adding different "levels" for stages of progress within the learning paths and making them funny and memorable.

The first thing that came to my mind was the set of notorious metaphors developers use in their resumes and personal websites. The three most famous are Ninja, Rockstart, and 10x Developer.

The main problem is to define the hierarchy for this group. Which one is cooler than another?

My guess is:

  1. 10x Developer
  2. Rockstar Developer
  3. Ninja Developer

What do you think? What is your personal hit parade? I genuinely need these statistics 😅
