What a load of crap. Coding is a skill, and like nearly every skill you can learn it on the side. It's like saying that you'll never learn to play the violin unless you quit your job and force yourself to play violin for your supper. Indeed, it's even more of a silly assertion, because you can be "pretty good" at playing the violin and still not be good enough to make something out of it, but you don't even have to be that good at coding to do something useful with it.
