This imaginary yardstick for measuring developer effectiveness is flimsy and appears mythical because it is extremely sensitive to context.
The same 100x dev who will build the medical imaging system single handedly, will also be a 0.01x dev when asked to fix an npm dependency issue in another team, will also be a 1x dev fixing a cassandra config issue, or an aws build system issue.
In my experience,
this is not because (s)he can't but mostly because (s)he WON'T.
