To add to this - don't undervalue your 20 years of experience!

I recently had ChatGPT "build" me a simple ruby graphql hello world-app. That was useful to me since I could easily read and understand the 20 or so lines of ruby, recognized the imported gems etc.

It wouldn't have helped the people in my company that I build software for one with.

And especially not a system with continuous delivery, continuous improvement (features/bugfixes) or something remotely secure.
