Engineers are like inventors. No quantity of mediocre talent can replace a Thomas Edison or a Linus Torvalds.

I get your point, but I’d argue that even the most brilliant minds need a robust support system to succeed. Linus might have created the foundation, but it’s the contributions of thousands of engineers that turned Linux into what it is today.

Although I think anybody can improve at their craft with deliberate effort, having natural aptitude for it is a huge advantage. How do you find the true 10x developers?

I agree with you. One way you can tell if a Front End Developer is mediocre in an interview is to ask them to take an HTML input with the `type=datetime` and give you it as a Javascript `DateTime` . If they don't grab the uTC timestamp directly you know you have someone that has never looked at the input properties. See Image for details.
