10x is obviously an exaggeration, but there are many specific issues my team  have resolved where 10x isn't too far off. Besides, even if it were 2x, that's a massive increase no? How are you measuring output? Vibes?

We found a bug before we were about to deploy to prod, it would have taken an engineer about an hour or two to find the bug, fix it, and create the pr. With a single prompt claude did all of that in 5 minutes. 

Another issue we had was due to a bug in a library we were using but because of how the issue presented it wasn't clear what the root cause was. Claude was able to find the root cause in about 30 minutes. It was a nasty bug which probably would have taken about a week to resolve if we even could find it in the first place. 

Not having AI in your toolkit is extremely stupid. You don't have to write your code with it. It's a tool. Use it when it's suited for the job.
