The norm can still be 1x and the number of 0.4x can apparently also be too abundant for comfort. >There is also a significant variation in how the same person performs across multiple tasks. Not only that, sometimes one individual can engineer things 10X better than at other times. >Do these two engineers have the same experience with the technology at hand? No, one has 10x the experience. >How familiar are they with the system they're working on? Very, one is just 10X more familiar. >Do they have the same ability to make decisions on the go? No, one is a 10X better decision maker. >How easily can they get help? Both easily, but one of the two only needs help 10X less often.
