I'm 31 and just quit my job to focus completely on learning programming. Am I an idiot?

Advice

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.

This game is the closest there is to actually programming. Change my mind.

I've had this thought in my mind for years at this point. As a gamedev in my day-to-day life, this game is the closest there is to my actual job.

Since resources are near-infinite, your factory never truly reduces, it only ever grows and expand.
A good design plan for your factory takes time but it's oh so worth it.
You might think it's a waste of time to beautify and make your factory easier to navigate but future you will thank you.
Sometimes you discover a new way to design some parts of your factory and realise it could be used everywhere to make things just a bit better.
If you leave space for future upgrades, future work will be way easier.
Sometimes your factory doesn't truly work how you thought it would, so you rebuild some or all of it to better fit your needs.
Oh, and it's never good enough and you always wish you did something differently.
And sometimes it's so bad you just delete your factory and start over differently.

Now replace "factory" with code and you have my job. Seriously, if some of you sincerely enjoy these elements of Satisfactory, you might love programming.

Oh and for those that are scared of maths : I do as much maths in Satisfactory in a week than I do in my job in a year.

Edit : For those mentionning "actual" programming games like TIS-100, Human Resource Machine or even Minecraft. Those are good examples but not really akin to real-life. No one really codes in bits directly or assembly ; it's more about creating systems that, together, create something bigger than the sum of their parts and making those systems easy to navigate by others (and future us) using classes, functions and design patterns (those rarely have game equivalents).

Edit2 : I should have said software development, not programming. Of course some games have programming but they don't have the development aspect ; programming is just the basic skill required to make programs. Just because you can write doesn't mean you can write a book.
