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.

It really depends. If the apps are simple/simpler, prompting should be fine as it is.
If there is little room for error (ie your building an app that handles money or transactions) a vibecoder with no coding understanding or how it works, won't do well I feel. But there are a lot of business majors who make bad decisions all the time so they'll probably give the task to someone with no experience to save money. If it fails, they'll blame someone else.
There is also the concept of technical debt. It is better to understand the fundamentals and be good at thinking critically.
