What the heck is going on here with people's understanding of what 10x means.
Listen, a 10x engineer is someone who does the work of 10 other engineers, not closes 10 times the tickets, not pretends to do 10x the work but really it's just making things more complicated.
Sometimes being 10x means you are extremely careful and you don't have to go back and rework stuff.
Sometimes it means your work unlocks 0.1 extra value out of 100 other engineers.
You can say that 10x engineers just flat out don't exist but it's a whole lot of cope to say that someone who actually gets 10 times as much work done is actually bad because you knew one special boy that was really a disaster.
