I’m an experienced SSE and I’m about to hunt for a new job for the first time in a few years. I’ve so far been able to avoid most AI use, with the exception of testing out some code completion with copilot a couple years ago.

Basically every job listing I’m seeing expects some level of AI adoption (“we’ll set you up with either Claude or Copilot, so much choice!”) so I figured it’s time.

What’s the best way to get an intro to these tools? I’m curious how people are actually using them in their workflows successfully. I want to give it a fair shake and form my first-hand opinion on these things as tools.

EDIT: I’d also like to hear from those downvoting this post.

    What’s the best way to get an intro to these tools?

    Find a website with a free chat bot and ask it for guidance on learning these tools. If that doesn’t work, try another site. Keep asking for guidance to run up their chat bot bill until it blocks your IP range. Rinse and repeat with a new bot, or a VPN.

    That’s the most fun way to learn about this stuff.

    Oh, the best way? I have no idea.
