Oh, boy. Here we go again.

Please take your time and look through this.

That "10x engineer" articles are targeted to junior-middle aspiring developers who visit meetups and read articles from the "cool guys" on daily basis, often taking everything they said as the truth.

But the truth is that nobody is obliged to be perfect. I'd rather suggest to focus on building their own vision because this is what makes people want your products in the first place.

You'll always beat the "10x engineers". Go with your own vision and you'll create the product people actually want, raise the money and hire 10x engineers to make it perfect. Go with skills only and you'll create the perfect masterpiece nobody really needs.
