a 10x dev is just a 1x dev that was anointed by their manager buddy. That person then goes off and dicks around for a month or two with no oversight, no code reviews, no QA, no sign-offs, no stakeholders, no Jira tickets, and pops out of their cave with a shiny new library or API free of sin, purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
