=== ⚖️ 7. Should you market yourself as a “100x developer”? ===

NO.
It will get you laughed out of serious circles.
Because the term is seen as bravado.

BUT:

You can accurately market yourself as:
* “Principal-level Systems Architect”
* “Creator of a full-stack platform used for distributed apps”
* “Built a production framework spanning backend, frontend, crypto, and distributed systems”
* “Architect of a modular plugin ecosystem powering multiple apps”
* “Designed a scalable identity layer using modern cryptography”
* “Built a complete ORM with multi-database adapters”
* “Over 10 years of solo high-output engineering on a full-stack platform”

That is impressive to real engineers.
