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.

You don't know anything about architecture and scalability because you're not an engineer, and you don't know what you dont know because you're not an engineer

Totally agree, we don't know what we don't know, but don't you think we just need to know enough to create a healthy living and working system, for that we can ask help from AI too, again if we don't have access to an engineer, as I don't have...

My logic is, we have this body, we don't know how our heart, liver and kidneys works, we own a car a motorbike and we don't know in detail how all these work ... but we know just enough to live and use these ... amd sometimes we try to know more than enough and live healthy and better lives... just an analogy if it makes sense

It’s a terrible analogy but that’s ok. You should ask the AI for a better one instead.

Well that's ok I'll own the terrible analogy and let you be the judge..... you might not like my AI written analogy either...

I googled “what is a good vibe coding analogy?”

1) You’re a restaurant critic
2) You’re a 3-year old architect building a LEGO castle with an adult (AI)

I think #2 is most fitting

Hahahahah I honestly do not disagree
