What all these 10x developer posts miss is really simple. 10x developer may not even work that fast. He might seem extremely slow to those around him. However 10x developers bring TCO of a system waaay below all the "I did this in a weekend" crowd. 10x developer thinks and implements just the right level of abstraction, does just enough testing and implements just enough unit testing. He will think of the forest and will not blindly howl at the trees. I would go and write a blog post about it to harvest some free karma. But I am just too busy/lazy to do it. However my point is that all the OP and everybody posting their blogs are ignorant pricks and should really at the very least read and try to understand the Mythical Man Month from Brooks, before they go and start overloading a perfectly fine and understandable term. Thanks.
