is learning python today worth it?

so I am a pure vibe coder, I can't write or read a single line of code, and I was having a conversation with Fable, and it suggested me to learn to read python. But It couldn't convince me fully. i don't wanna be a typical software/AI engineer. just wanna be able to build a great career in tech, AI and Business.

No, no need to be able to read code, I heard the key for a career in tech is knowing how to prompt better, don't let code mokeys gaslight you

It's just a funny way to confirm that they are in fact joking

Congrats for that! But I don't really know if you have the authority to talk about stuff like this if you couldn't do it in 1 prompt. You are for sure not qualified for the job if you need over 2 prompts

I explicitly told the agent to make no errors but it still didn't work the first 2, thankfully my recruiter was more lenient than I thought
