I'll venture to say 100xers don't exist.
If your in a team which helps you succeed you'll perform better.
I've been very good at leaving jobs where I don't feel like I'm a good fit. On my previous team I spent most of time helping junior developers. This was extremely rewarding on a personal level. While I wasn't writing 500 loc a day, this was impressive enough to net me a promotion and a 60k raise after about a year .
Thinking that your simply the greatest programer that ever was doesn't mean you'll work well on a team .

Even worse, developers so bad that they are actually net negatives. They take up more of the senior's time through bug fixing and mentoring than it would have taken the senior to just write the code themselves.
- offtop5 6y agoGive a 100xer a boss who berates him for not writing enough comments and s/he is no longer a 100xer. If anything I've seen more people get in trouble just for being jerks, you can do very well as a bad developer you just can't be a mean person
