That is impressive, was RCT2 mainly just Sawyer too like TT? Makes you reconsider scale when you say Fred/John/Mary is a 10x'er because she/he got a small line of business CRUD app in some high level language with a battery included opinionated web framework shipped in less than month.
You'd be amazed at how productive you'd become if you're working mostly on your own, uninterrupted, and with a clear vision of what you're building. Look at how much you already churn out in the span of a year, then multiply that.
True, but I also think part of it's the Internet and much more opportunity to procrastination (i.e. now). When I was lad... we had slashdot.org, theregister and theonion, you'd be done within 20 mins. Now we have HN, SO, reddit, podcasts, blogs, twitter, etc.. When Sawyer started on TT I don't think 14.4 modems were even widespread.
