This is exactly why I think the "myth of the 10x engineer" is so obviously false.
An average software engineer will create an overly complex system.
If a skilled engineer can come in and create something that doubles team productivy, decreases bugs by 60% and improves retention across the org by 10x, that's huge! That's not a 10x engineer, that's a 100x engineer.
