If I were you I would look for product owner roles in a tech company building a product for sales operations. That way you can a) get paid again soon b) really use and build on your sales operations background c) work closely with a development team and see their code and how they work, d) do some non-production prototyping of new features etc. which can help you learn a bit of coding without actually destroying your company and e) learn how to explore and analyse business problems and requirements (which can get quite technical!). Based on that, you'd have a great basis on which to decide whether you want to actually become a developer, or whether you are happy helping a development team decide what to work on in an area of interest to you personally, which in my view is just as rewarding.
