I think he definitely got his fair share of luck, but it's hard to negate that he has got some talent, no?

I've been a dev/lead dev for like 10 years, and I believe I've never had a single month of my career that I didn't have to work hard.

I need to work 10x(not productivity, but dedication) to sometimes get half-assed results in comparison to some peers that just slide over the problems and end up in a nice position.

It's hard to tell. Maybe. But most orgs don't care if you're a so called 10xer - they still want you to grind for 40h/w to avoid other staff asking "why does bob get to play golf at lunchtimes everyday" if nothing else.
