But I'm aware that many of those I've rated zero are actually something negative, as in "Please stop writing code" (I was trying to be generous). I'm thinking of people with personality defects, who are also novice coders, who also think they're God's gift, and therefore won't take advice.
So the score is a continuum, and there are negative (and zero) values. If that conflicts with the "x10" concept, then I'm not unhappy.
I'm also conscious of the notion that some super-clever people can unexpectedly wreck an organisation or team, instead of sparking it off. It's not insane to think of a -x4 dev. Very smart, but anyone picking up his work has a mountain to climb.
