My problem with the label is twofold: it blames individuals for systemic problems, and it suggests 10x is some immutable trait.
You said that there's a 10x difference between the best and worst member of your team, in response to a post saying that the concept of 10x developers is hard to take seriously. I assumed this meant you thought calling the best member a 10x developer was a good idea, which is what I disagree with.
Are you saying that calling people 10x developers is not a good idea, but there's still a 10x or greater difference between the productivity of the highest performers and lowest performers within a single team when observed over a couple of years? I agree, but that argument's a very strange one in the context of the post it was responding to.
