My litmus test for knowing if someone is a 10X developer, as in can replace 10 differently skilled employees, is "can they develop, operate and file support tickets for a cloud app all by themselves?". Usually the answer is no.

Obviously such a person would not be able to monitor an app 24/7 because everyone needs to sleep, and there could be app failures during that time.

No. It means that particular developer is 10 times more productive than others in the same capacity. Yeah, you are right. The ideal man you described can be Hercules not a developer.
