Agreed, but in this context "knowing how to code" is not the same as "being able to code".

I know how to code. I understand it, and can hack at basic programs written by other people. That doesn't mean I can code. That would require years of practice and, like the author, it's just not my thing. I'm better at other stuff.

You are coding, just likely that you aren't doing it "well". "Doing it well" is very subjective and depends a lot on the context.
