As a designer myself I can promise you that any UX designer employed at a respectable company already knows how to code. The change that I see coming soon is that designers will be required to program. I don't think we'll see Front-end Developers and Designers (be it visual, UX or Product) as separate job roles for much longer. I certainly don't think this is a good thing. I'm constantly reminded of how tedious and time consuming Front-end development. I'd much rather spend my days designing experiences, but I don't see that as a possibility in the future.
