As a "young" coder I am hesitant because I don't have decades of skills to fall back on.

It is even more abstraction, even harder to follow the code I'm "writing" with AI.

Also I have a fear that if/when the AI tide recedes, I'll be the one caught with my pants down since I have been forced to vibe code the majority of my career. As opposed to greybeards who can fall back on their decades of knowledge.

You nailed it. Only option is to build skills, preferably on company time. Just remember there's a lot of mediocre devs, and you probably have more time than you think to do things.

I'm about the age where I need a walking stick and a cyborg arm to keep up with all these leetcode artists. AI couldn't come at a better time.
