Robert Dewar, in one or more of his speaches (video online),
attributes the *10 rule to an IBM study.

In The Mythical Man-Month::The Tar Pit, F P Brooks Jr
illustrates the cost of turning A Program into A Programming
Systems Product.  He arrives at 9x = 3x * 3x. along
two distinct paths from a garage into a software production
facility.

But today, all iOS developers work in a  copy of the same
garage. ;)  Others write programs for just one µ-ctlr,
so there might be a small divisor reducing cost.
