Do you want to hire a developer with 5+ years of LLM experience? Or 3+ years of Claude experience?

Hire learners, or hire people who teach people (evaluate new tools, write guides, conduct training, mentor, etc.).

Excellent point. How do you evaluate a developer’s ability to learn and integrate new tools (like AI assistants) into their workflow?
They’re able to give an honest assessment of the ways that they’ve changed when using these tools. And how these tools changed their own day to day, and possibly their team’s.

We’re still in the early days of this.
