I thought being a 10x engineer meant being able to achieve a task which could not be achieved by 10 average engineers. Does it mean the ability to do 10x the amount of work than everybody else? That doesn't seem extraordinary, that's mostly a case of focus. In general I dislike the egotism attached to the idea that one engineer is the cause of other engineer's productivity. That's a lame way of self-congratulating.
