I very much believe in 100x developers related to the .2 or -.5 x developer. These people have the potential to accomplish little or even slow everyone else down by focusing on the wrong things, and writing difficult to maintain code. In that sense a 1x developer is infinitely more efficient than someone who is a net loss to the team and 100x is nothing. I do agree that it would be very difficult to be 100x better than someone who has decent technical skills and generally displays common sense and stays focused on useful paths.
