Should I learn game coding?

What career field utlizes c+ ?

I sort of am lretty sure I'm just gonna go for security master as it's quick and can get me paid well. Than invest in tourism back home, I actually got land in 2 good locations which are touristsy. 1 is touristsy 1 is niche but seems to work too. So make money and decide if I would take a loan from the bank to get it going.

No such thing as c+. I think you mean c++, but I'm talking about c#.

You security/tourism plan sounds good.

If you're actually LEARNING something you should always try. Even if that means it doesn't end up being your career you can apply things you learned to others.

My suggestion was just - if you're 99% sure it isn't going to work out, why not just target the thing that it will provide transferable skills to directly.

UI ( user interface ) is stuff where money hungry business is connecting with....paying customers and their clients. So not usable, obviously maybe today AI boxes does have real money to pay in order to replace real humans?
AI today is ML. Better marketed and so on.
If users doesn't have basic Intelect then AI will not help them. 0 chances.

Sorry man, I have no idea what you are trying to say.
 
If you like it sure why not. I personally couldn't stand programming at all when I was a kid. My dad does it and it's just annoying and very very boring to me.
 
Programming isn't just something you casually pick up/jump into. Either you fully commit to it or you don't. It's a lifelong learning process, or at least it has been for me (in my mid-30s now, and been tinkering with it since I was 14 or 15).

There are so many FREE learning resources available, the question isn't "Should I?" but rather "Why am I not already?" Your hesitation leads me to believe you should consider another hobby/field.

If you’re Eastern European I would suggest joining the NBA like Markkanen and Jack Sikma.

Same thing with xr, same thing with blockchain, Segways will replace the need to walk, home 3d printing will revolutionise manufacturing, smart watched will make phones obsolete, immersive UI, nosql, real time web..

All of them at some point had a level of hype approaching what AI currently has. None of them delivered.
If you're new to the game I don't blame you for getting caught up in it, it's a powerful machine you're plugged into and its sole purpose is to convince you of ideas and create fear.

It will be junk-ware in 10 years. It's already bloatware in every product under the sun.

nosql is just some other kind of stuff.
3d printing is beautiful tool but not always usable.

Maybe then better is to start to read about gamedev basics, comrade before talking about ?

What I'm getting at is that the structure of your text was incomprehensible, comrade
 
You can use the internet for endless free tutorials on programming to see how you like it.

Maybe things have changed but C++ was always a great starting point.
 
Things are advancing so much with AI it seems pointless. I don't think it will be long before we can just tell AI what kind of game we want and it will make it. It can already make games but still has a ways to go before it reaches the point I'm thinking about.

Unless you really want to work with that language specifically, C++ isn't the best way to go for a career.

It's relatively technical compared to better paying and more abundant roles so you'll probably become a better developer, but much harder to make a career out of.

We're in the midst of a hype cycle, and what always happens is that the more technical roles become less in demand and less valued.

Being a tool-depth-knowledge "AI Developer" is world's easier and better paying than being a technical beast at something deeper like C++.

Real engineers and creatives aren't getting wiped out and they aren't going to be. They'll vertically migrate if close enough to the cut, or simply won't be affected.

The whole AI replacing engineers thing is the most overblown sv propaganda I've ever seen.

What does a "tool-depth-knowledge "AI Developer" mean exactly? I'm so old school and frankly old lol.

There are a lot of new developers adopting the"AI Developer" moniker, which in an unfortunately large number of cases seems to mean they know how to get API keys and LLM their way through setting up a python ChatGPT integration.
