You can't find and hire geniuses for every component. Systems should scale with the average engineer in mind (so should code). We have all smelt the coffee and it smells even better when your team is efficient and well rested.
I don't disagree. Building around 10x'ers in this way creates god complexes and unhappy "senior" engineers (since they don't do any of the cool work). Having one very early still juices your productivity
