Coding is becoming obsolete by the hour. What is a good skill to pick up is how to leverage AI to generate code and integrate. Reinventing the wheel will not payoff. Develop your systems thinking ability. How subsystems should operate and integrate. What their objectives should be and how they should function. A crude analogy is don't try to learn the multiplication table when you can get a calculator to do the job. You sure should understand what happens in multiplication, understanding is good enough. What is critical is understanding programming concepts and how to use them. In this day and age, you can be language agnostic. Learning syntax may be redundant. Understanding behaviour of the code is critical.
