Also: Let's be honest, 99.9999% of our work is not that special. It's cookie cutter business software. There are only of handful of problems I encountered where you could argue, it would have actually required an "awesome" developer. All the others were business problems, lack of knowledge or too ambitious deadlines (thanks, sales!).
Nowadays, I'm lucky if I get more than 2h in code per day. Even if I were the best dev in the world, my company wouldn't benefit that much.
