Keeping an eye on your code repository (reading commit messages) is a worthwhile exercise. Some of it might be over your head if you aren’t a developer, but perusing a bit will help you understand the state of your application. You shouldn’t need to learn git to do this - GitHub or whichever service you’re using will have a web-based interface for you to browse.
Echoing what others have said, business analytics is a big one. Understanding how to make the most of things like Google Analytics, MixPanel, etc can be very worthwhile. Integrating these into your application is a job that will fall on your developers, but deciding what to track and interpreting the results is something you can/should handle.
Should you learn vi or go digging through logs? It’s probably not the best use of your time, but if you’re truly curious then I say go for it.
