A lot of time a "good" developer, that some refer to as 10x, is versatile and dynamic in the setting, tools, contexts and project groups you put him/her in. What separates these people are primarily problem solving skills, understanding of needs, requirements and context and an ability to not just implement but to discuss options and reason the way to the best solution.
A 10x developer could be spending more time in notepad or a whiteboard than anything else just to hash out, illustrate, orient and pivot theoretically with the team and THEN build the right thing one. What you moreover refer to as a "fast developer" in this article is a solo code monkey who will likely be good at building MVPs quickly but his time will ve spend getting it working instead of having a solid plan and goal that is anchored and therefore having a good understanding of what issues all the tools must solve, making it easier and faster to stack it up to a solution. Think first, communicate with tech and non-tech, and versatility is what I look for in new colleagues.
