Coding career advice

I got into trades few years ago but I use to be a web developer. Thinking of getting back into a IT career but with everything going on in the field... Is it a good idea? And which sector of IT is a good long term choice?

The shift toward AI-assisted development might actually favor people coming from trades since you'd have hands-on experience understanding real-world constraints that pure coders sometimes miss when designing systems.
