#10xDeveloper is a toxic BS.
BUT 0.1x developers are a real problem, often hidden, sometimes very widespread, that can create absurd losses over time. That's how you get #overemployed.
A 1x developer among 0.1x team looks like a rock star, a god of programming. Creating a team of 0.1x around 1x dev just allows 0.1 culture to continue (a surprisingly common disease in a large companies - heck: I know a case where a guy wasn't attending work at #Nokia for 2 months before anyone found out).
