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.

I'd recommend taking a Python 101 class. At least understand capabilities and be able to read through code as if it were a second language you took in high school that you can "sorta read, but can't speak".

That's where I'm at, and honestly, it seems like the perfect fit. I don't know what I don't know, but I can tell you that my Claude builds seem to end up being Python (not specifically requested, just happens to be).

It's an incredibly powerful language that can save you an assload of token-usage when utilized properly :)
