Opinion: there are less jobs in UI programming (iOS, Android, web frontend), but this kind of programming will never go away; it defies abstraction.

Makes sense, even I don't want to be the guy, who changes colors and updates label. How do I level up? Maybe learn C/C++ and start leetcoding and get into ML/AI

Do you perceive the same phenomenon regarding desktop development (including OS and web browser)?

In my experience, Android development is a highly valued skill and becoming more important as developing countries becomes an increasing target.

Define AI/ML, nowadays many people blindly want to work in "AI/ML" without knowing what it is about. First, understand the field and decide if you want to do. It is very scary that many people are obsessed with AI/ML, I guess everyone has the delusion of what ML is really about.
