A good programmer can make a huge difference in CRUD applications. Things like proper relational database design can save a lot of issues down the road. Using good OOP practices can improve reliability. Keeping things DRY is great too. I have seen some awful source code that run business applications for years.......but bad engineering practices may cost millions in the long run one way or another.

What I meant is that there is also a lot of boring stuff that just needs to get done. A 10x programmer won't help you much there.
