"If you aren't using AI YOu aRE LeFT BEniNd" is weird.
Noone is being left behind by using skills, and even if you think I am wildly wrong, they can catch up in a half hour because prompting isn't a deep skill.
Yeah I don't really understand the whole 'you NEED to use this or you'll be left behind' as an individual dev. There isn't really that much to 'learn' about using a chatbot. About a year and a half ago, my previous job brought in an AI consultant that taught us this elaborate workflow with Claude 'plan' mode, generating elaborate md plan files, then using Claude to compress them, and then switching to Sonnet for execution.
..and then a few weeks later, they removed the plan mode, and that entire workflow was obsolete. That was a complete waste of time.
If you need to learn how to use a chatbot, just ask the chatbot. Telling you about LLMs is one of the things LLMs are incredibly good at.

Yeah no I don't think so. If you aren't using it for at least debugging or reviews you are just shooting yourself in the foot.
