That makes sense. Coding is an excellent way to train problem solving skills. Even if you consider intellectually demanding fields such as mathematics and physics; although they do train your critical thinking skills, they don't teach you how to be pragmatic. Software engineering can help you to develop a pragmatic 'most efficient path to meet the goal' mindset.
