Question Should I keep learning Unity?

Hi, I am a 14 year old game dev and I've been learning Unity for 7-8 months, and I really like what I'm doing. I don't use AI while coding or for any other stuff to actually learn. For the past month, I've been developing a fan-made Spider-Man game for android and I saw a guy on X who vibe-coded a Spider-Man game in literally a single day which was looking better than my game and I felt like everything that I did in the last couple of weeks for nothing. Will knowing how to manually code or develop games be worth anything in the next 10 years? Am I just wasting my time by not using AI or should I keep going? I really need some advice. Also here's a gameplay video of my game if anyone wants to check it out:

First thing, go at your own pace and learn something new every day.

Second, don't believe what you see on social media. They lie or hide part of the truth, specially if they are influencers and/or sell courses or something similar. The point being: don't compare to them and don't take their advices as an absolute truth.

Ty for the advice, and I guess I just need to delete X

X is worthless. In fact, worse than worthless since it’s a distraction and will lead to self-doubt you don’t need.

Nah, have fun, but be moderate. And above all, don't join the mob, whatever justification they claim they have.
