I don't know anything about 10x engineers.

I know about 1x engineers, maybe 1.5x engineers.

And I know about 0.1x and 0.5x engineers. They're the engineers who scraped by in college, whose heart isn't in it, who clock in and out each day and just try to stay under the radar. They're good at looking busy and getting nothing done. They make the 1.5x engineers look really good.

Exactly. If you're going to talk about 10x engineers, the first question has to be ten times what.

I also know about -0.3x and -1.5x developers (we are talking about developers here, aren't we? Well, if not, replace with any other professional you want).
