Spent a while looking for this comment - doesn't seem like this occurred to many people, but maybe the 0.1x programmer is actually the OP and not the colleagues.
I'd view anyone new in my team racing through tasks very quickly with suspicion - are they documenting their work? Are they writing robust, maintainable code or just trying to tick a box? Are they writing tests? What, in short, are they missing?
The probability that we'd landed a 10x programmer (a mythical beast of which I've only encountered a few) would literally be the last thing to cross my mind.
