With regard to Coding, I'm not referring to absolutely ALL Growth Hacker skills -- certainly PPC, Media, and Intermediate analytics can be done with no coding skill, but at least half of the GH skillset requires at least minimal coding skill to execute:

CRO, UX, Advanced Analytics Implementations, Advanced Social Implementations, Doing anything innovated with an API -- these are off the table for a GH unless they can code at least a little, and who want's a Growth Hacker who can only do the bare minimum?

SEOs can absolutely get by with minimal coding knowledge, I give you no argument there, but that's part of what makes the who disciplines different.
