Just like Lionel Messi plays great football in Barcelona but in his national Team he is not able to do this.
In barcelona he was trained to work as a team since beggingin of his career
Also the team tactic o playing footbal is set to use most of his advantages and provide as much as possible support to messi to amplify his most positive traits and mitigate the downsides
My first problem with this myth!
We cant measure dev productivity just like this person is a singletone!
There are many different variables comming into play that affect dev productivity, enviroment, process, team culture, collaboration, motivation.
This is creative work not some assembly line with easy to follow instructions.

The best programmers are up to 28 times better than the worst programmers, according to "individual differences" research.
A great programmer might be ten or a hundred times as productive as an ordinary one..."

Five great programmers can completely outperform 1,000 mediocre programmers.

I have found some clues about being 'more' productive in those two sentences
{ what does it mean ? }
{ what does it mean to be multiplier }
{ those need separate slides }
{ slide with info about it doesnt make sense to optimize perfectly working app }
{ it makes sense with this code enchancement or otpimization will bring new customers }
{ it doesnt make sense to refactor the code if it wont make the product better, That is why before refactoring we should find out which part of the system is most buggy and most changed so that the refactoring investment will be worthwhile }
{ and it doesnt matter if you create product that is perefct in engineering sense if you cant sell it, or if you have lost the market opportunity, beacuse you took your time to creat perfect product, and in the meantime the competition has sold crappy product, customers dont mind to certain deegre }
