Well, speaking honestly probably more like 5x, but it would take a solid 5 person team working well together to do the same things he did.
His ability to reason about the problem- get to the root of the persons actual issue, proof of concept intitial revision and iterate until it was better quality than most popular open source projects was honestly awe inspring.
His only problem was his own lack of self confidence. He used tools and always asked if they were really the best or if he was inflicting them, had good reasons for not using things that we consider industry standard (he prefers restructured text over markdown because it’s more expressive, for example) but was ultimately very sad about every project he made because he felt like he had inflicted his (good) work on the world.
So, idk. The people who think they are rockstars probably not. He definitely didn’t think he was but he was a god to me.
