10x only works if you're a team player or if the company is organised in a way that encourages team work. the 10x is just the guy that's already overcome this blocker that a more junior coder could spend a day on, and if the company doesn't encourage teamwork the junior is still taking a day and the senior is appearing 10x when he should be assisting other coders. there's more value in a team being 3x than one person being 10x.
