What creates more value - 1 developer or 1 developer working at 10x pace?

First of all, 1 dev _producing_ at 10x pace is a myth.

But second of all, companies do not need to 10x their software production output. Rather the goal, if the 10x productivity is achieved, is to _reduce_ human labor while retaining desired levels of output.

If ultimately you're replacing humans with AI agents, you're exchanging one value for another.

I’m sorry, what? Companies do not need features? Next thing you’ll tell me they need to improve code quality?
