If you're an experienced developer who hasn't seriously used AI coding tools yet, most explanations aimed at "beginners" will frustrate you — they assume you don't know what a function, a Git repo, or an API key is. You don't need that. What you need is a mapping from concepts you already trust (code review, specs, least privilege, sandboxing) to this new category of tool.
