The real 10x developers in my experience are the hardest to measure. Because they pull the whole team by always being helpful and improving things where they see potential. But that doesn't necessarily show up in their results, but in the whole teams results.

Which is why metrics driven organizations in my experience with their disincentive to help others, slow everything down.

Do they? Or are they just wasting time refactoring instead of getting stuff done?

It's a matter of perspective.
