Truth, though I would argue very few areas in CS still need that caliber of dev - surely most (middling) shops would prefer the paint-by-numbers dev for most roles as it shows they're likely reliable and able to work within the team's existing framework than a maverick who may run circles around the rest (in both good and bad ways).

Ofc you need both, would be interested to see how a full 10x team would operate with no 'grunts' there to slog through all the tedious parts of the SWE process.
