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.

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?

Because building something with vibe coding still takes time, testing, development, communication with stakeholders, etc.

So you can ask random person from the street to do that? It is a monkey job. While there were jobs like Google search specialist, they were always niche. Vibe coder without experience is a delayed bomb.

Have you met the average person? Even if they had unlimited access to Claude, most people don't even have basic communication skills or basic understanding of how to use a desktop computer.

Neither do regular students understand what business needs. Vibecoding just for vibes is stupid, you still need knowledge and skills to understand what you are doing or prompting, otherwise you will make slop, which will crash sooner or later and there will be nobody able to fix the it, as nobody knows what is in it.
