Good day everyone,

I'm honestly feeling a bit lost right now and could really use some advice about my career, my growth, and my place in programming.
This is my background: I work with an international organization, but my role is basic mainly reviewing pictures and vetting work done by field engineers through tickets. I wanted more, so I've been learning Python for a while now. I pushed my self hard and started growing in pythong.

Recently, I got an opportunity to move into the tools team. I spoke with the manager, passed an internal interview, and was given a chance at the Tools and Automation Engineer role. I was really excited it felt like things were finally moving forward. There's also a big project to automate the manual, repetitive reporting everyone struggles with, and I was eager to be part of it.

More recently, our R&D team from the headquarters introduced a powerful AI solution. Honestly, it's astonishing. Now Solutions that would take experts weeks to build, this AI can produce in minutes. I even saw my mentors worried. It made me start thinking about the future, what does this mean for us as Python developers? How do we compete when tools can generate working programs so fast?

So I'm asking sincerely: what should I do? What should I focus on learning? Getting to this beginner level took a lot late nights, effort, small wins and now it feels uncertain. This really hurts. If you have any advice, please guide me. I truly want to be relevant in this industry.
Thank you all.
