> I have never written a single line in Python. My only experience with it is Neetcodes tutorials. Before AI, you had to hire a Python programmer

I know that learning averse programmers exist, but even pre AI, many people in this position would just learn some python

Yeah, I never really "learned" python. I don't think I've even done a tutorial before. But I've still written thousands of lines of python in my career.
That doesn't mean those lines were of any quality though.
They're still being used by those orgs to this day, so they're doing the job at least.
