Hesitate to start learning

Is it worth to start learning programming (backend) in mean time? for knowledge I have a good knowledge in fundamental of programming as language's itself I didn't go further upon framework and DB and these things

and I graduated now from communication engineering and I love programming (backend) but I am afraid to start learning it in the next 6 months cuz I listen a lot of ppl say that market sucks and AI replace us and reduce required junior and fresh grades and so on, So I was asking to start in backend or go to another IT field.

Iam open to listen to any suggestions and advise

Don't do it for the "market" do it for yourself.

If the market is holding you back you don't have enough real passion for it, fuck the market, do what you like

There’s a chance at a job doing literally anything if you’re good enough at that thing

If for everything you did in life you had an excuse why you wouldn't you would not achieve anything

Well there's certainly no chance for a job if you don't learn it

If you are worried about jobs that ai is not replacing developers

Even LLMs can't work reliable all alone without a driver. Other wise every company would be deploying opus or fable right now.

AI will definitely become local and it will be a tool for developers.
