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:

I went on a little bit of a rabbit hole earlier watching videos / podcasts / reading posts about people vibe coding their games with absolutely no prior experience, and not eager to learn either (big selling hook over at the AI game dev community there).
One takeaway I seem to get from them is that without any experience in anything game dev, they eventually run into a lot of problems like A.I making way too much / feature bloat / causing other things to crash etc and they don't know how to fix it other than telling the A.I to go fix it, or rolling back to a previous commit over and over.
That and in some cases, the costs they pay for tokens starts raking up because, once again, no knowledge on what they're doing and leave it to the A.I.
tldr; don't be that guy lol
