> I'm not convinced that every "10x developer" is solving software engineering problems on the same level at which Rembrandt painted or Bach composed I think "10x developer" is a very ambiguous definition, and comparisons in other fields are confused because of this. I'd rather use the adjective "elite". It's more intuitive and unambiguous. Carmack is without doubt an elite engineer; his work, in my opinion, is on the same level as Bach's in his field.
