It doesn't really matter how good or fast you are at developing, starting a company is a whole different ball game. The overhead of winning and retaining clients will very quickly ruin any 10x advantage you have.

Side note: Judging from the story points it looks like this is a 23x developer not 10x ;)



The fact that they haven’t realized story points are like the score in “who’s line is it anyway” is a major red flag that they probably are not a 10x developer. Such a person would surely have ascertained the reality of the situation. The truth is that this person probably is above average in some aspects, but has a gross deficit in understanding the more nuanced aspects of the software business.


The story point was just an example, not the main point.

OP is aware about what your wrote and didn't mean it in the silly way you assumed.
