10x engineers are a myth when it comes to productivity working within a team. There are absolutely 10x engineers when they're working on a project more or less completely solo.

Yeah, but that's also different from how people, especially management, tend to conceptualize 10x engineers. You don't spot the 10x engineer by looking for the one who accomplishes 10x what other engineers do. You spot them by looking for the team that's accomplishing 5x what other teams are, and then finding the "glue" person on that team.
