Some deep thoughts and questions.
Do you think you will still be doing deep technical work in your team after you turn 40 year old ? Have you ever seen a 40 year old coder ?
Do you think you can become a manager and mange a team after you turn 35 ? Do you possess managerial skill ?
Currently lots of layoffs are happening around you. Your job can be replaced by A.I in future. If you get laid off, do you have any other skills to make it as a source of income ?
Will you encourage your child to get into IT industry (software engineering) or some other field where A.I interference is not accepted ?

Some other field where AI interference is the lowest.
Software engineering is going to have the highest amount of AI interference and the lowest number of human workers.

A lot of core engineering fields need math and computers as well for example EM needs a lot of math and just plugging an AI into those things will only make things worse. Context based learning is something that still one needs to develop properly.

My manager is 36, and one of my oldest team members is 45
