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.

    Think otherwise what?

    Seriously if you want to learn GenAI (or AI) workflows, start using them yourself in your personal life.

    I don’t know what they are, what’s good, maybe better options for privacy, etc. I’ve got virtually no exposure to it in the last 2 years, so I’m trying to figure out where to start from people that use it in their jobs.
