*sigh* I think the best *companies* enable their programmers to be 10 times as productive as the average company, and maybe a 100 times as a really bad one

Preach. I'd rather have colleagues I can depend on and a stable, focused environment, than some savant that is not able to cooperate, but is acknowledged as some mystical 10x engineer. Software is teamwork.

A shame that there are so few good companies out there...

The article quotes a study on 12!!!! programmers in 1969!!!! I am not completely sure how to take anything else seriously in it. I wonder if that is the real source of the term "rockstars" in software engineering.
