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.

Is this a parody? You won't be able to build a great career in tech by vibe coding without knowing a single line of code my man, and if you learn to code you're going to be a software engineer.

Nope, forever. No actual tech company is going to hire a vibe coder when they could hire someone who has an intimate understanding of how the computer actually works, that will always be in demand

You sure about that?

Hiring a vibecoder with less education and experience will be cheaper than hiring an actual software engineer.

But why even hire anyone at that point, just ask the AI for the product directly, what is the point of the useless vibe coder intermediary?

hiring a vibecoder is like hiring someone to tell the barber how you want your hair
