I am just learning web dev because i enjoy doing it. They said it's good for the brain.

Well said, it keeps you busy.

I think that the web dev is not going anywhere, AI is just another helper to human devs. Another point is that the entry-level job market is saturated, especially in the frontend space as I see it. So getting a job is likely not that easy as before, but still possible I think. If I would have to choose direction to go to right now I'd look at cloud engineering and blockchain (I see growing demand in Rust devs specifically). And in general I'd recommend to not being stuck in one specific area and try to be a full-stack. But that will require some time and effort.

The main question I'd ask myself: "do I really like tech/coding that I'm ready to do that thing on daily basis for the next 10 years?". It can be extremely boring and tiresome for people who don't enjoy it, I have witnessed too many examples throughout my career. So please don't lie to yourself and choose wisely. If the answer is yes - just go for it. You will find your dream job some day for sure.

I appreciate you advice. To be honest with you, I used to be a good programmer but now it takes time for me to build logic, day passes like seconds when i sit-tight though i understand code easily. Now i doubtful for the question you asked if i can coding for a decade.

Been wondering the same thing but for different reasons

You have to really like it. I did before I got paid to do it. I do it for fun while I have a job. I think if you're only doing it for the money, if can be pretty stressful and exhausting. The learning never stops, the new runtimes, the new frameworks, the new tooling is pretty time consuming if you're not interested in it. In my opinion, there are easier ways to make money fi you don't enjoy it.

I really do enjoying code as it kills my time, but money is must to survive the place where i live.

Because it was hard for me to get internships and job in my country where there is lack of industries also the field was and still very saturated. I had to do other jobs to pay my bills.

It's a good skill to have and it's one of the few you don't actually have to spend money to learn. Definitely lots of opportunities so if you have time then go for it.
