All things considered, keeping up with the industry trends is generally a more reliable career path.

Correct but we are never fungible. That’s the trick for a reliable career.
I’ve survived every single layoff season since 1995.
Ironically, Claude Code has me working in lower-level languages with more low-level tools than ever before, simply because of how powerful it is, particularly as a terminal tool. I've always been more of a GUI person, but now the editor I use most often is Helix.
If I've atrophied in certain aspects of my thinking, I honestly think I've more than made up for it in learning how to engineer the context and requirements for Claude Code more effectively and to quickly dive in to fix things without taking my hands off the keyboard and leaving the terminal.
