the popular claim is 10X better than average. Not 10X better then suck. And definitely not 10X better than a total newbie at the one thing you've worked on your entire career.

Also, it's not actually "10x". That's just easier to write than "an order of magnitude", which is a subjective thing in productivity. The idea is vaguer than the "10x" abbreviation implies.
