Tell your manager about the conversation with your boss. Keep working hard. Communicate with colleagues, and always ask questions when you have them- or even when you think you might have a question. Your manager's manager has authority over you, but remember: that job is probably 100% non-technical. Highly technical advice (e.g. anything relating to how you write/structure your code) should be taken with a grain of salt. When it comes to code feedback, listen to other engineers, listen to your manager, and listen to whoever is reviewing your PRs. Those people actually have to use your code, so you should write your code in whatever way they prefer. If you really feel like they might try to get rid of you, get a signed letter of recommendation from your manager now.
