I use Aider, and I was already quite good at working with AI before that so there wasn't much of a learning curve other than figuring out how to configure it to automatically do the ruff/mypy/tests loop I'd already been doing manually.
They key is that I've always had that prompt/edit/verify loop, and I've always leaned heavily on git to be able to roll back bad AI changes. Those are the skills that let me blow past my peers.
