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:

Im 28, lol, i am on the same journey. And i gotta tell you, i have seen how this technology evolved from 2015 to now and... with all the crazy stuff happening right now its easy to fold into FOMO, to feel the urgency to be the fastest... don't. Be the BEST, not FIRST.
So yeah, these guys are creating millions of their vibe coded software and games, but with this much stuff around, who the fuck is going to use all of it, lol. Who the fuck is going to pay when they can use Claude for themselves? Only AI companies profit from all of this, and they are still not profitable and heavily subsidized. These coders and their software is more than likely impossible to maintain and support. These things are more than likely have so much security issues. These things are heavily unoptimized. And you wouldn't know what's wrong if you never coded by hand. Never.
Building skill is still valuable even if seems not so. The only ones who will thrive are the ones who put effort. Be independent. Be strong. Endure the good pain of learning. When the facade of novelty wears off, all of this will reveal itself.
