One thing to openly recognise is that FOMO is one of the core marketing strategies applied in any hype bubble to get people on board. There seem to be multiple blog posts a day on HN that are thinly veiled marketing about AI and most follow a predictable pattern: (a) start by implying a common baseline that is deliberately just beyond where your target market sits (example: "how I optimised my Claude workflow") and (b) describe the solution to the problem just well enough to hint there's an answer but not well enough to allow people to generalise. By doing this you strongly hint that people should just buy into whatever the author is selling rather than try to build fundamental knowledge themselves. Putting aside the FOMO, the essential time tested strategy is simply to not care and follow what interests you. And the progress in AI is simply astonishing, it's inherently interesting, this shouldnt be hard. Don't go into with it with the expectation of "Unless it vibe coded and entire working application for me on it's a failure". Play with it. Poke it, prod it. Then try to resolve the quirks and problems that pop up. Why did it do that? Don't expect an outcome. Just let it happen. The people who do this now will be the ones to come through the hype bubble at the end with actual practical understanding and deployable skills.
