Despite your use as a pejorative, 10x is real. Developers who pound out mountains of spaghetti in whatever stack they want ignoring maintainability and best practices? I've heard the phrase "cowboy coders", or asshole works too.

Perhaps we ought to normalize the scale and call the other variety 0.1x engineers.
