Pick one. Can't be both.

Not backwards. In terms of value, 1x is a value produced by 1 typical developer. -1x is a decrease of value.

Organizations lose knowledge all the time because people quit because of e.g. toxicity in the workplace (brought by -10x employees).
I guess I'm done with this conversation, it no longer interests me.
Pick what? I didn't pick anything. I'm just laying out examples.
>Not backwards. In terms of value, 1x is a value produced by 1 typical developer. -1x is a decrease of value.
Yeah so my point is -1x is Not arbitrary. You said it is. I simply said it isn't.
>Organizations lose knowledge all the time because people quit because of e.g. toxicity in the workplace (brought by -10x employees).
That's one way of looking at it. It's valid. But by itself I was referring to an honest employee acting to the best of his capability. Like IQ this part cannot be negative. Things like side effects of a bad actor deliberately damaging the company is not something I was referring to. Overall though this type of thing is hard to measure and anecdotally rare.
I mean if you want to factor in terrorists who bomb the tech and kill everyone in the company into your model, sure. Terrorists have -10000x productivity.
>I guess I'm done with this conversation, it no longer interests me.
Sure. That's fine. The conversation is getting into the nitty gritty of interpretation of words which is pointless imo. I think you're pretty clear about what I'm talking about. All in all though my statistical interpretation is still ultimately correct.
Arbitrary or unrealistic. Utterly obvious from context; you said "arbitrary and unrealistic", they replied "pick one or the other".
Somewhere else you write about "if you only understood what I wrote". Honestly... This shows that the problem there wasn't with someone else's understanding of English, but yours.
Pick one. Can't be both.

Not backwards. In terms of value, 1x is a value produced by 1 typical developer. -1x is a decrease of value.
