Joseph’s Answer

It sounds like you're studying an industrial engineering undergraduate degree and looking to go on to study a postgraduate Masters in Science (MS / MSc) when you finish. It will depend a bit on the specific course and any optional modules you've taken as to where you're best qualified to pursue next, but I think most engineering degrees will set you up well to move into a wide range of technical fields next. Of course it's usually easiest to stay generally within the field you studied at undergraduate, and as long as you've get a decent grade when you finish, I'd imagine you'd easily get into almost any Engineering MS, but especially if you've done a couple of computing-related modules (things like SCADA and PLCs would be obvious computing-related things to cover in industrial engineering) along with the coding self-study you mentioned, you've probably got enough background to transfer to an IT or Computer Science MS. You might have a bit of work explaining to the admissions tutors why you're changing field, but with the right knowledge and saying the right things, I'd imagine you'd be fine in IT/CompSci.
Another thing to consider: I'm not sure how it is in your part of the world, but here in the UK, a postgraduate masters can either be a taught programme or a Masters by research. If it's similar where you are, I'd probably recommend looking more at taught programmes because they'll likely fill in some of the material you've not covered. If you want to do a research masters, you'll probably want to pick a topic quite carefully to be related to something you have already covered the background material for to ease the transition from one field to the other.

You answered your own question! If it’s fun to do, do it for a career. You must however move on to the next generation of code especially with Quantum Technologies & AI are becoming dominant on a global scale. Make sure that your studies and practices are on the benevolent side to assure your future application coding does not eventually replace you.
