I have worked with 10x developers. And I have worked with -1x developers (stopping them from working made everybody else productive). Without the 10x developers things wouldn’t get done. Your demo/prototype wouldn’t be ready in time to secure the contract. Your production problems wouldn’t be solved fast. I suspect that certain (average) developers are jealous of the attention 10x developers (rightly) get. That’s understandable. But pretending that 10x developers doesn’t exist is silly. It’s like pretending that world class musicians/engineers/artists/… doesn’t exist.
