Every time I see someone challenging the notion that there could truly be developers who are an order of magnitude better than average (faster, fewer bugs, more maintainable code, etc), I can only conclude that either:
A) The person posting simply hasn't had the pleasure of working with such awesomeness.
B) The person is threatened by the possibility of 10X'ers really existing, since that's a threat to their own ego.
I'm a great programmer, and still know many people who leave me in the dust. I'm glad for that.
