The "best" means different things at different point in life of a startup.

For example, an arrogant "10x" developer who doesn't team-play and work 9-5 for work life balance may be the "best" when the company has grown to a large size, but for an early stage startup, this can act as the #1 reason for the demise of the startup because it messes up the morale and culture.

I have a hard time imagining a non-team player ever being the "best" in any size business.
