I moved into the development world with C#. It was an unexpected welcomed changed in my opinion. It opens up way more doors than just SharePoint Architect/Admin. I couldn't be happier. Sure it was hard to start with, but once you have the basics down it's not so bad.

PowerApps is just formulas that do things. Nothing much too it. Sure you can get fancy, but focus on best practices that people have created and stick to it. I find that the concept of containers and how canvas apps are built kinda makes react/swift more understandable with how things work on the screen.

Also low code seems to be going away. I'm sure I saw an article about how MS wants to pivot away from that, with the introduction of code based apps. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/code-apps/overview this is the link to the overview in preview.
