>Pick one. Can't be both. Pick what? I didn't pick anything. I'm just laying out examples. >Not backwards. In terms of value, 1x is a value produced by 1 typical developer. -1x is a decrease of value. Yeah so my point is -1x is Not arbitrary. You said it is. I simply said it isn't. >Organizations lose knowledge all the time because people quit because of e.g. toxicity in the workplace (brought by -10x employees). That's one way of looking at it. It's valid. But by itself I was referring to an honest employee acting to the best of his capability. Like IQ this part cannot be negative. Things like side effects of a bad actor deliberately damaging the company is not something I was referring to. Overall though this type of thing is hard to measure and anecdotally rare. I mean if you want to factor in terrorists who bomb the tech and kill everyone in the company into your model, sure. Terrorists have -10000x productivity. >I guess I'm done with this conversation, it no longer interests me. Sure. That's fine. The conversation is getting into the nitty gritty of interpretation of words which is pointless imo. I think you're pretty clear about what I'm talking about. All in all though my statistical interpretation is still ultimately correct.
