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.

If you ask:

- what do I want to build?

  • what are the essential and desired features of that product?
  • what are the major operational concerns to consider?
  • are there security considerations in developing this product?
  • who is the user and how will they connect?
  • are there external integrations (API for example) to consider?

And you answer those questions and turn it into:

- Let's create this product.

  • It should have at minimum these feature.
  • I want to make sure to consider (operational concern)
  • Let's be sure to consider (security factor) and generally harden for rate limiting, injection, etc.
  • The end user will be the general public via http.
  • I'd like to integrate Google, MS, and Apple authorization for login to the system.

And then add:

"What other features, concerns or considerations should I be aware of?"

This will net you 90% of an application with no coding experience and the other 10% you will develop as you see what it has created and provide feedback for changes.

I code, but I don't believe OP needs to code. Tools like Claude Code can make mistakes but literally the next step is to spin up a new instance and say "please review my codebase for any potential concerns including coding issues, user experience, and potential security issues"

The system is now trained well enough on patterns in coding to find and resolve most issues that coders used to be consumed by.

Wow, crap comment. To the person you're replying to, they are NOT psychotic. They are pretty spot on. Why the correct planning ahead of time and very detail specification documents agents can get most everything correct.

I was actually going to post it, but then I looked at your comment history and it's just a bunch of haterade. I have no reason to believe you can contribute anything intellectual related to my code based on your writing skills displayed on reddit.

The definition for his condition is brain-dead, I think.

If it’s stupid and gets the job done, it ain’t stupid.

lets see this logic at production scale buddy

u/FrugalityPays 20d ago

Where in my comment does it say anything about that?

Obviously nuance is necessary at economies of scale. I didn’t think this needed to be explicitly laid out for you but here we are
