I'm pretty sure the study which gave rise to the 10x myth has been debunked. I think the reason why this myth persists is because of engineers' conceit. Everyone wants to believe that they're the 10xer. Besides even if some engineers were 10x as productive as other engineers, how would we even measure that? 10x as many lines of code written? 10x as many features released? Development work is extremely hard to quantify, so it's unclear what "10x as productive" even means.
