Agreed. I feel like I have 3 or more hyperfocus modes. At the furthest end of the scale, I can get into a multi-week (or month) obsessive hyperfocus on some topic. This is where I really shine at work and can develop whole componets, libraries, etc. in a very short period of time. Maybe that turns me into a "10x developer" in the negative sense. But without leveraging hyperfocus, I don't think I'd ever have made it beyond my first position.
