Why should I worry about lacking preparation in the future? Why can't I just learn this as any other skill at any other time?

You'll be behind by a few months at least, and that could be anywhere from slightly harmful to devasting to your career

How so? Why would a couple of months break in employment (worst case, if I truly become unemployable for some reason until I learn the tools) harm or destroy my career?

Lmao, this is your brain on brainrot LLM FOMO. Better not waste time on HN, you’re wasting precious minutes getting ahead of (imaginary) competition!
