I've only ever been a 10x developer once. There was a particular business process that our sales people were preparing manually and one of the engineers thought it would save them a lot more if they simply had a web UI, so he made it. Except the UI replicated all the same, tedious parts of the process, which was basically filling up a bunch of forms. We had a sales team of 8 who spent 2 ~ 3 hours every morning filling out these forms. And the forms expand as we get more sales so it was a growing problem. So I proposed to use as many re-useable templates and defaults as possible. Most clients essentially came from 3 or 4 categories and wanted more or less the same options. If you're in category A, only options 1, 2 and 3 are eligible, everything else from 4 to 100 is just noise so hide/remove them! Just one trick managed to reduce the amount of form filling from an entire sales team x 3 hours to 1 junior person x half an hour. My take away from that experience is 10x anything isn't about writing some amazing piece of code, it's about providing a better process.
