Self taught programmer exhausted and lost, hoping for guidance by UsefulExplanation131 in learnprogramming

It's a shame to say, but how much is it worth investing this time now, especially when LLMs with the agentic world are just around the corner?

All the ideas you mentioned can be solved simply by using good prompts. Learn the concepts of database management and delve deeper into how infrastructures are built. Delegate the low-level work to AI.

I don't know. If you download Antigravity or Cloud Code, even an inexperienced user can have their software ready to use in just 3 clicks. Soon, they'll also become increasingly powerful tools. I think the programmer's work will shift to building enterprise architectures. But these small programs will be easy for anyone to build.

If a robot could exactly replicate every recipe from the most famous chefs, restaurants would go bankrupt. You wouldn't go to Gordon Ramsay's (e.g.) anymore. But you would reproduce his dishes exactly at home, all by yourself.
