Computers are a tool of Automation. A seasoned engineer can build amazing things that does the work of many humans. Not only that 10X developers don’t work 10X hard, they are able to solve 10x problems with 1X effort because of their domain experience and approach to problem solving.

This kinds of people are hard to find. It’s a terrible business decision not to pay them well because their ROI is multiple times their salaries.

They are also very rarely on the market sending out resumes. Mostly because they get jobs mostly via friends of friends and referrals.
