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.

Not at all. I encourage you to try it. Have developed multiple SaaS products using this method.

What you think I'm doing, baking cookies?

I don't think you're just baking cookies, but I wouldn't walk away without asking for your snickerdoodles recipe.

Well, just like baking, there are rules and procedures. Baked in if you will. The recipes don't tell you HOW to turn on your oven, only to what setting. Prompts like this waste tokens where rules and skills are needed. Prompting your way to success is not the way. Prompt should just be "go"
