I think they are different definition of 10x engineer and OP’s definition is someone who writes a lot of code and understand the stack.

Perhaps, but I've never heard of a definition involving someone who writes "really bad code".

OP is not saying they’re the one who are responsible for the bad code
I've worked with people who were truly 10x engineers and others who just thought they were 10x engineers. The actual ones did this by succeeding in the context of the broader team. The ones deluding themselves just made everyone else miserable, and then left messes to clean up when they left.
