10X developers have and exercise vision. Similar to how a CEO is arguably the best business person in the company, a developer may have the same differentiation in performance without the business domain counterpart's visibility in the organization. A CEO knows not to enter a competitive market, a great dev knows not to increase code complexity. A CEO knows to choose opportunities worth pursuing, a great dev knows which resources to use and avoid. A great dev makes decisions based on 100s of datapoints instead of 10s. It's like chess-and there are certainly 10X chess players.
