It's pretty hard to submit 10 times as many lines of code into a product as anyone else if you have to follow the code review rules, and wait for a second engineer to fully review & accept. Top tip: create lots of reviews just before project deadlines. 
Hot Take: A "10x engineer" is just a regular engineer who somehow managed to get around having to attend multiple meetings every day.

That might be part of it. But, as someone who works at a software company, our most productive employee here submits lots of code, but he's subject to the same code review process as everyone else. He's just good at his job, avoids unnecessary meetings, documents, etc.

I once mentioned that SpaceX had a policy that anyone was allowed to leave any meeting you didn’t think you were contributing to, and my coworkers got mad at me. :)

??? Since it is a policy the company agrees to, what does it have to do with you

I'll happily take this as the explanation for why I'm a 0.25x engineer

A “10x engineer” can have a single hour of non-meeting work a day and still achieve more than ten other engineers did over the whole day (>10X). Why? Because she can do stuff the other guys didn’t even think of doing. It’s not about how many lines of code were written.

Are you mixing creativity with productivity on purpose?

Definitely a part of it. I started asking management if they wanted to have me on this stupid meeting or if I should work on the things that needed fixing, because I can't do both. Turns out I was rarely _really_ required and eventually they stopped calling me to most meetings :)

It also helps being a contractor, since you're often not required/wanted at all employee meetings and such. Probably the best benefit of all. Couldn't live without it :)

My other pro tip concerns e-mails. I have always received very few work-related mails. My theory is that it's because I don't send any. If people get used to seeing your name in the mail header they think they can/should include in every conversation.

Explicitly does not work in my office. ;)
