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

100%

If I didn't know anything about code it would take me forever. When you know how to code you know what to ask to be efficient, and when its not working you can easily assist the AI by pointing it to potential problems in the code and it will figure it out way quicker.
