so in every key project you've worked on, a one single person took care of the coding from DevOps to frontend/backend, deployment, testing, and all other coding required beyond "key functionality"?
I think it says more about the size of the project and the complexity of the task that you've worked on, rather than "10x engineer vs normal engineer". Not even at a 10 person startup have I seen "one" person done everything. Unless you're talking about someone just forking OSS and gluing it together, to make a carbon-copy application of something that already exist(for free) then sure.
Edit:
>key person took charge and made it happen
person - singular.
made it happen - it's hard to call an engine a car. to make something happen, you need all the component (contributions).

I didn’t say that. Read it again.
It’s not even the same person every time, people trade off being that key person.

You have no idea. Please address the ideas rather than making personal assumptions.
