Ask HN: What is the skill worth investing for next 20 years?

With uncertainty in the role of software engineering because of current market and it potentially being automated, which field of computing is worth investing upon? Are there even any field in software engineering/development where the core knowledge has remained true over the course of years? Designs and paradigm changes. For example, basics of graphics are same over 50 years. But the way things are built have changed multiple times. Apparently, no one pays for someone who knows only the fundamentals. People need experience in practical aspects too. Another example is AI is like a rat race going in circles and trying to catch up with the latest ideas. Contrary to hard engineering where basics remain true for a long time until we find new ways. But the basics of engineering a product or solutions translate no matter what. So what do you think are skills that are going to be relevant no matter the hype?
