> The 10x programmer is a silly myth. The idea that someone can produce in 1 day what another competent, hard working, similarly experienced programmer can produce in 2 weeks is silly. I think the 10x programmer myth was never about productivity. The idea is more about creativity. I.e. one creative programmer can create a product that would have never existed otherwise.
