I don't understand the rush to adopt things if they're not really giving you a boost right now, some people still use vi and hammers, both invented by early humans. Adopting a new tool while a new one comes out every week is fishing in a troubled river. It's perfectly fine to wait until things settle and then learn whatever is actually left, I hightly doubt you're going to lose your job because you didn't learn something 2 days ago.

I would say:
1. Spend time on the fundamentally new things through whatever tool provides it.
2. Always try to prevent 'vendor' lock-in. Think about portability and reusability.
A lot of the stuff that now "works well" when working with AI assistants and tools is stuff that was always a good idea and always worked well. Write Once, Read Many; Provide good specification; Communicate clearly; Automate repeated tasks; etc.
If you update your workflow in a fundamental manner and don't jump from investing 100% in tool X to 100% in tool Y redoing a lot of shit, you improve it efficiently.
