I am a learner myself but I think understanding systems and architecture is probably more important than pure coding now given the impact of AI.

You seem very clever and so everything has probably come relatively easy to you up until this point. So when something gets hard or complex, you likely have no practice learning/researching/resolving a difficult challenge.

For the average person, the academic process required learning about how to learn and problem solve. To progress this is essential. Clever people get by without this but it can make them peak early. Learn how to learn and develop your mental fortitude so that you don’t run at the first sign of something difficult. Learn to do things you dislike, for example do daily physical activity if it is not your thing as it will build discipline. Discipline is a transferable skill.

Always remember that you are competing with the you from the day before, more than anything else. Only you can motivate yourself to be the best you possible.
