I guess you don't believe in 10x or 100x programmers either?

  With a few exceptions, a "10x" programmer is in most companies making maybe 1.5x than other people his age, possibly quite less. This may be an extra $50k in some places. I have not met a 100x programmer, but there are many people who lead important projects (say Linus, Guido, etc). They also do not deserve 100x a standard programmer salary if they were employed at a corporation either :)
