What Jamie wrote
Great overview of thinking about software team productivity and how you design the work to drive group productivity. I have never liked the "10x Engineer" metaphor either. Certainly different engineers have different strengths, but creating value over time and supporting production systems requires a team approach and the teams that win the most have ability to bring in a wide variety of skill levels.
