I've been a 10x developer. But it wasn't all me that did it... it was those around me being .1x. So ya... it does take a team to make 10x programmer. I can't claim I was 10x smarter than my coworkers. I wasn't. But I knew how to use tools that were at least 2x better and put in at least 5x the effort. Looking back it's amazing how little effort my co-workers (and boss) did put in at that place. Public sector for you I guess. I soon moved on to greener pastures. Some places value 10x. But other places it's better to do the bare minimum to avoid threatening anyone or raising the expectation bar. Sad working conditions best avoided by those with desire to create or improve. A good place for those who claim 10x developers don't exist to seek employment.
