Demis Hassabis, John Carmack and Elon Musk ARE 100X developers. Why stop at 10X?

10x developer is just a metaphore, not based on some mathematical model. For me it relates to the difference between an average singer in an average band and Prince or Whitney Houston for example.

Yah its hard to give it a direct number but to say its a myth is just obviously wrong given the evidence of these brilliant minds we know exist.
