Everybody keeps saying the models are getting better, the tooling is getting better, people are discovering better practices...

So why not just wait out this insane initial phase, and if anything is left standing afterwards and proves itself, just learn that.

Because there's nothing to learn. "learning" to use claude code is less effort than learning how to use the basics of git.

They provide value today so I'm using them today.

This. If you use a modern frontier model like Opus 4.5, there's nothing to learn. No special prompting techniques. You give it a task, and most of the time it's capable of solving a big chunk quickly. You still need to babysit it, review its plan/code and make adjustments. But that's already faster than achieving the same results manually. Especially when you're at low energy levels and can't bring yourself to look into a task and figure it out from zero.
