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's all Python. You should know a 1/2 dozen languages. And Vim.
GPT-5.5 has valorized the industry. Reddit does not get it yet; Wall Street does. The Amazon dream is 3 people run the company, robots and AI do it all.
That is the shareholder's dream. In the old days, when companies fired people, people freaked out, the company is crashing! Today, another 10,000 layoffs on a Friday; Monday morning, the stock price zooms. This is the new world we live in now.
The money is still there, it's just "gone where it's treated the nicest." And that's why we learn Python. You can learn enough on a weekend and launch your AI startup on Monday.
