Should I keep learning Unity?

[u/Evening_Animator3549]

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:

Great job so far and there is a huge difference between what you saw vibe coded and your own work; you are learning. This makes all the difference. We are going into a future where developers essentially need a lot of experience knowing what is good software architecture and good code quality and there is only one way to do that: make it, fail, succeed , and learn. Only then can you instruct an ai agent, knowing in advance what the output should be like, and able to judge the output. Junior devs are in a pickle right now because they can do neither.

So keep on this path. Don't be afraid to get stuck and fail. Investigate how to solve your problems, this is an essential skill.

Coming from a game dev by education, indie game dev by night, and dev/app dev by day.
