One lesson we can all learn from this: You don't hire a x10 engineer, you nuture it. Year by year, as an engineer develops more and more of the skills required, their productivity increases. A lot of engineers doing hiring, think they can just get one of these engineers off the shelf by paying some recruiter 50 grand to make one materialize. It doesn't work that way. x10 engineers are born of years of company specific specialized labor.
