> There really is a skill to using it effectively. I've tried coaching some of the devs on my team. Some get it, some don't.
Very much this. There is a vast range of effectiveness and combined with so many models and pricing tiers, it can be tricky for some. You really need to treat it like partly a programming language, but also partly as a management delegation exercise (do I delegate this task to the intern (cheapest model) or to the principal engineer (frontier model) based on complexity).
I do coworking sessions with most in my team to see how they are using it to understand and coach for effectiveness. Just using the most expensive model for everything isn't going to cut it anymore in the post-tokenmaxxing age.
