Erik Bernhardsson

Someone can be a 10x engineer if they do nothing for 364 days then convinces the team to change programming language to a 2x more productive language. A motivated 10x engineer in one team could be a demotivated 0.5x engineer in another team (and vice versa). A average 1x engineer could easily become a 5x engineer if surrounded by 10x engineers.
