There are two kinds of developers:

1. Those who are good developers 2. Those who can't write any real code (cargo cult or cut&paste developers, e.g. the 25% who I didn't hire over the years because they were not able to FizzBuzz)(25%-50% of the market)

The 10x comes from comparing (1) and (2) - although dividing anything by 0 is larger than 10x.

My learning with tuning computers in several companies with a lot of money for faster turn around speeds:

1. IO is not as important as your gut feeling tells you (e.g. 5x faster IO often led to <2x faster compiles)

2. Programming languages tout the parallelism horn, but their compilers and tools are really not optimized for many cores.
