1. I would pick up other techniques for getting myself unstuck. Stopping and doing something else sometimes works... and sometimes, it just makes you later. Favorite ones for me include googling (you'll be doing a lot of this!), rubber duck debugging ( https://rubberduckdebugging.com/ https://rubberduckdebugging.com/ ), and occasionally the Creative Whack Pack ( https://creativewhack.com/product.php?productid=64 https://creativewhack.com/product.php?productid=64 ). 4. Although software development won't become less valued, each individual technical toolset has a natural rise and fall. Older technologies move out of favor. Think about how you deal with studying something for years, then learning that particular technology -- although it's still very good -- is just "not popular", so companies no longer want to use it. Good luck, no matter whether you move into coding or not!
