I rely on your experience for the non-existence of the 10x dev, but I've seen a x2 dev first hand, at young age. One of my interns did the same work in 3 months as the other in 6 months, plus various bonuses: Refactoring of old code into readable one, introduction of Kotlin, more unit tests, interesting discussions at lunch with other startups... Some people are amazingly smart.

yeah, I completely agree. There are people who are amazing at this out there. But they tend to be pretty humble about it, too, in my experience. And the best of them are really, really, good at bringing the rest of the team up with them.
