This sounds like another way of saying: in the innovation adoption lifecycle, it's OK to be a laggard. Let someone else be the innovator.
I don't think you need to wait for new tools to "find you" to decide if they're good or not. I use lots of tools which make me far more productive but never gained widespread popularity and hence never would have "found me".
There’s a lot of hype and FOMO in ai right now. I think this is especially true if your exposure to it is scary sounding news articles quoting hyperventilating VCs about how AI is going to take everyone’s jobs. Best to tune those people out. Use the tech, and figure out how it can complement what you do.
To me, it feels like the easiest firsts screen for FOMO-cycling is "What end purpose of mine does this tool serve?" instead of the marketer's "What can I do with this new thing?"
"The important tools will find you."

Beginners need no skill, and curate.
Experts need no fanfare, and teach.
Excellent.
As EVH once said, tone is in the fingers.
💯 except I’d say amateurs obsess over tools, pros over vision.
This is fantastic--great write up.
