It's obviously hyperbole.

It needs to be rephrased into this:

"Watching this video will make you into a developer who is respected 10x more by their peers."

Would it?
Probably not, but it's fun to think about.

If respect is measured by an integer, going from level 2 to 20 is great. But if you have no respect, then gaining 10 times as much still leaves you at none.

If you are disrespected DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO unless you want to be disrespected more by a factor of 10!

No it's hyperbole.

However if you go from writing spaghetti code to something more structured (i.e. loosely coupled, however that is expressed in your language) then you're team mates will hate you less.

Well, no, but it will make you 10x richer.
