I used to think I wanted to be technical. To an extent I still want to, but that approach didn't work out for me.
Whenever I hear "just learn to code," the rationale is totally wrong. As you said, anyone can code, but to expect a non technical guy to learn and maintain a product can be unreasonable in some cases (the blog posts section on MVP and simplifying your product can only go so far in some cases). The true value in learning to code is gaining an understanding of whats involved in the process. No matter how minute the experience is, anything at all can help
