Reading this gave me a fun New theory: Maybe the myth of the 10x programmer persists because companies that keep around jerks slowly lose all their programmers with better than average skill and are only left with those that can’t get jobs anywhere else very easily. Then the jerks really are 10x better than the new average at the company.

10x this. in my experience, many of the folks cranking out tons of code and deliverables have the worst track record for nonfunctional requirements like usability, scalability, maintainability, and documentation. as a result, they quickly scare off everyone they frustrate and their cumulative touch surface on the codebase only reënforces the perception of their productivity.
