My earnest, non-sarcastic advice to anyone considering learning to code is to find something else that interests you.
While there is possibly some time left before the software industry implodes, hobbyist software will also get steamrolled so I would in the strongest terms possible guide someone to find something that makes them happy and to pursue it.
The software industry as it exists today is a sad bag of regret and disappointment being papered over by opportunists of the worst kind.
