The 10x engineer discussion going on isn't about 10x engineers. It's about team dynamics and people making excuses that are harmful. That's a fine and useful discussion. On the actual subject: The 10x engineers I've known are outliers in productivity. E.g., one of them has a university course taught about their brain. It's not something you can aspire to be.
