Tldr; Start coding less. Start teaching more.

It is super fantastic that you have been able to learn, grow, and achieve so much. You do sound like a super star. It also sounds like you have reached a point where transition is required.

I respectfully disagree with those who say "get a new job". This may be a good idea, but it is certainly not a solution to your issues which are very likely to come with you wherever you go.

I suggest that you stop contributing so much under your own name, and start helping others contribute under their names. "Not much grows under a great oak". You may be casting a shadow that makes it hard for your colleagues to grow?

10x developers are awesome, but very hard to scale. Far more powerful are the "super colleagues" who make everyone around them 5x better. Add a 10x developer to a team of 10 and you 2x the team's output. Add a super colleague to the same team and output rises by 5x.
