Is learning programming worth it? Outside of a career, what can I do with programming? (self.python)

I learned a little bit of python back in college with the hope that it would give me a competitive edge in the field I hoped to enter. Lo and behold, I got a job in a different industry entirely and any knowledge of coding I once had became irrelevant.

Would it be worth it to pick up my python textbook again and self-teach in my free time if I don't want to make a career of coding? What exactly can python be used to create?

I just used Python to download a video from the internet. I've used it to automate my home's climate control and a whole bunch of other random tasks.

There's an infinite amount of things you can do with code!

Curious what library you used for the download.
