Newcomers have to do exactly the same what they did years and years ago. Practice the craft and gain experience by doing things.

And the craft is loose term, it can mean anything you like to get better at.

“asking the right questions” is built on years of experience doing the things now being offloaded to AI

“asking the right questions” is also a moving target with each model release

People simply underestimate the value of doing the work and think that the end result is all that matters
