"some developers are surprisingly good" must be the weak form of the 10x hypothesis, and to quote someone else on the internet "where there is a strong version and a weak version of a hypothesis, the weak version is usually trivially true". (The strong version is that the weak version is always just trivial and the strong version is never true).
