when did it go from 10X to 50X? Has there been a recent influx of -5X engineers?

If you go to the article and read the quote under the title, you'll see where the 50x comes from.

This struck me because I find the 10x claim pretty suspect (at least as it's usually characterized). 50X is just myth inflation.

I think "N"x is just a hypothetical number. It can be 1x - 50x depending on the individual
