The productivity gains decrease with user experience. A high-performing senior engineer won't get a lot, but I think they've reached a point now where even seniors will benefit a fair amount. For me it's not really that they increase my productivity directly, but they let me offload a lot of the cognitive load. I'm getting a similar amount of work done and I don't feel as drained at the end of the day.
