There are almost certainly 0.0x to 0.1x programmers. What percentage of the people working as programmers are in that realm is subject to some debate, but I've absolutely worked with programmers whom I would put into the "obviously 10x more value-creating than the median" camp.

(Some, but not all, were also abrasive personalities who didn't work well in teams.)

There's also -1.0x programmers - those who make others leave or are just an overall burden on others

My email is in my profile. I'm happy to make those referrals, but will note that most of them have landed in places that make them appropriately comfortable and engaged, so they're hard to dislodge (don't think I haven't tried every so often).
