I had a well-earning job and was making my way up the career ladder in an industry that didn't fulfil me and was just super stressful. I've been wanting to learn programming, but I was very tired and stressed from work all the time and never had the energy to do courses.

At work, we sometimes needed to use Excel and SQL, and that was my favourite part of the job. I ended up going way above what is needed to carry out my duties and becoming advanced in both. I have built sheets and queries that allowed us to significantly shorten the time spent on the most complex tasks. I enjoyed writing long, complex formulas and queries and people would be surprised I didn't specialise in computer science at school.

I'm learning python now and really enjoying it. I'm super excited. Sometimes though I have this feeling of dread because I fear that AI will replace programming in the near future. Other times I'm not scared programmers will be replaced completely soon, but that I'm too new and only very experienced programmers will be safe from AI very soon, and I'm not experienced at all.

I have a nice place that I rent out and I'm still making decent money while I do online python courses. It's less the money that I'm worried about and more worried about the time I spend learning a skill that I might end up not using.

What do you think about learning to code while we're entering the age of AI? Am I making a mistake? Should I beg my employer to take me back? My current job (I'm still serving my notice) would not be replaced by AI anytime soon.

Edit: Surprised to see that the post attracted so much attention. I really appreciate many of the comments, even some which are quite critical. There's a lot of useless noise in the comments section as well however and I'm trying to find the comments that I should thank or reply to and get more helpful information. Thank you to whoever cared and took some time to write something they believe will add value to my experience.
