I'm also not at all convinced by the 10x developer myth. I've yet to meet a 10x code writer who was really worth it. Difficulties in dealing on an interpersonal level usually counteracted whatever advantage they could bring to a team. Much more valuable are the 10x managers. In truth, they're more like 2x or 3x, but they are quite rare though they are quite real.

What I have seen more are 0.1x managers. They may be just 10% of the managers, but the problem is that if you have a deep hierarchy, you just need one 0.1x manager in the hierarchy to ruin your project.
