I agree -- as I said above, you can get close to the 10x end of the spectrum from a recent grad.
In fact, I don't know that productivity goes up a lot after that point. Experience does, which certainly improves your OVERALL productivity, but I know that I was much faster at cranking out code as a new college graduate than I am now, so it might balance out.
Or maybe I'm just too old to be in the trenches, but too stubborn to leave them. ;)
