I wonder if the study this cites is powerful enough to find a 10x developer. Generally you find the biggest jumps in ability on the far right of the distribution graph, so I would expect a genuine 10x programmer to be much rarer than the 99th percentile, which seems about the limit the study is able to reasonably talk about with ~400 participants.
I'd be betting more like 99.9th or even 99.99th percentile would be more like it.
