From an IT perspective, social skills. All the soft stuff that's impossible to measure. I'd put some more points into charisma because people aren't going away. gone are the days of being an eccentric genius who's good with computers. there's a less eccentric smart person who's just as good at computers, and they even take regular showers. being able to code is table stakes in today's competitive world, you need to be able to do far more to be competitive. So the skills to last are all based on an understanding of human psychology. If I sell you something at $5 that's one thing. But how about I tell you that it's normally is $10 and I'm giving you a deal because you're special. The technology stacks will wax and wane, any specific guess is going to look hilarious in 10 years. Typescript? Cuda? Linux? Who knows! What isn't going to change is change. Change is going to remain constant, so be prepared to keep learning new things in 20 years.
