I have worked with a "10x" engineer.

How do you think a team of ordinary (1x) engineers will function if you add a 10x engineer to it?

I'm my case it was like putting a car driving 100 mph where the speed limit is 10 mph. A disaster.

I think that a 10x engineer could work alone in isolation.

Base in my experience a 10x engine would also not function in a team of other 10x engineers. You need to have complete disregard for what others think and do if it's anything like my experience.
