I want to preface my thoughts with that I wish the "team sport" mentality was more common in the dev world.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with blueslurpee here. I frequently join a team and find there are 1 or 2 devs who "know everything" and it is near impossible to pull the information out of their heads and into mine or someone else.
This might be isolated to the areas I work in, but I do find that the "10x engineer" myth seems to live on and prosper in far too many teams I've worked on. Despite how discouraging it is for the rest of us who want to play a "team sport".
