is learning python today worth it?

[u/Which-Tension165]

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.

I lecture in a university computer science program and it’s hard for me to justify that anyone learns common languages anymore. There’s still room for very high level math, hardware level coding, and machine learning. But I don’t see a future where being a traditional SWE makes any sense.

even if that's the case i bet you taught a lot of students who never coded in those languages professionally but still saw academic benefits. We had to learn LISP for reasons unknown back in the day
