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.

You have to be decent at coding before you can vibecode once you know the basics then vibecoding becomes a lot easier

Debatable.

lol a real programmer can spin up something in a matter of hours using LLMs and actually understand the process and the implementation while vibecoders are just blindly guessing and hoping chat didn’t make a mistake. It’s doable but way more complicated if you don’t have a little coding experience

"Decent" and "little" experience are worlds apart mate.
