Many people start in coding, but realize they are bad at it and look for opportunities to move into other areas (eg management). When I worked for large companies, many of my managers would list programming as their early roles. You could tell, or they would admit, that they were no good at it, didn't enjoy it, and got out as soon as they could. The ones that are left are more likely to be good, simply because the poor ones with better opportunities have left. Edit: "better opportunities" from their point of view, of course.
