TBH, the last time someone told me they were a 10x developer, I asked his co-workers what he was like when he left the room and everyone said that the 10x was all in his head and he was pretty close to being the worst performer in the group. He just had an inflated sense of his own skills. Despite getting fired from multiple jobs (including that one) for performance reasons, he continued to exist he was a "10x" programmer and he was just getting fired because the managers and CTOs were jealous of his leet skills and didn't want to spend their all their time looking over their shoulders. I'm not saying that you're this guy, but this weird humble-brag post doesn't come across as sincere, and it's the kind of post I frequently see in reddit. If you really are a 10x, then share the wealth by mentoring other programmers. A true 10x isn't measured by the amount of code they output, they are measured by their multiplicative effect on the productivity of their team.
