What are the units we are talking about here? Is productivity measured in hours and if so hours of what?

I believe that was one of the points of the article. "10x Engineer" is being thrown around as another euphemism for "Rockstar" or "Ninja" without any true meaning.
One way to measure productivity is how fast you can create what the marketing people want. I can't think of any way better than that, and it's really ambiguous.
