OP brought a 1x data set to a 10x anecdote fight.
\uj I see a lot of theories about the nature and existence of tenexxers, but I don't see anyone else stumping up to (a) define it rigorously or (b) gather data rigorously, or really (c) do anything except ignore stuff you don't like because muh storytime.

I think the scale is is totally wrong. We should take a perfect, theoretical etalon, let's say Rob Pike, and express everything in relation to that. So you're somewhere between 0 and 1x, an average developer being at 0.5x.

If you fix the average and the Pike, doesn't that give the possibility of negative developers?
Oh, right. PHP.

The key to success is finding the absolute worst people to work with. And there’s plenty of opportunity for growth, too. Get them hooked on heroin and boom, you’re 100x now.
Isn't that the plot of Robocop 2?
