I worked with a couple of 10X developers, in the sense that they produced way more than other developers.
The key difference I saw with a normal senior developer was that they are very aware of what differentiates a product from technology and understood the business side of the software industry and that enabled them to ship products with an overall better quality perception from outside the dev teams.
They also were extremely good at tackling complexity and splitting extremely complex tasks into dozens of more simple ones.
They also took the time to teach how things work and ensure that people, no matter if tech or from business, understood how the solution work and what were the logical steps that guided the decisions that lead to it.
One of them, I knew since childhood and when he was a teen he was immersed in books about IT and then logic and math, to the point that for a couple of years he almost never came outside to play because he was holed up in his room devouring books and articles on the internet. One time I asked him how he does it and he told me: "I read each paragraph until I comprehend it completely, if a word doesn't make sense to me then I put a marker in the book and go search about the topic of that word until I comprehend it in its entirety.".
