Yeah but most startups are not willing to pay the 10x salary for these 10x players. And they are often doing tasks that do not require 10x skill either. They usually don't start with such 10xer tools such as Haskell, Lisp or Erlang because hiring is 10x harder than blub. People have to be honest with themselves and realize that is totally ok. 10x people are doing HFT, working at places like Renaissance Technologies or working on hard tech projects such as the google self driving car.
For example airbnb, although very useful, does not require 10x engineering skill. It's a CRUD app, and there is nothing wrong with it.
If your business startup requires 10x skill, that is an existence risk. The only hard thing is scaling a large numbers, and that is a problem you can fix once your making it big, just like facebook.
