What does one have to do with the other? Almost no matter what your field, if your job involves sitting at a desk in front of computer for more than 10-20 hours a week, your job performance can probably benefit from knowing a bit of coding. And that is only going to be more true going forwards.

In theory there should be no such thing as a "programmer," programming should be a natural part of any white collar job that people use to automate their work and improve their workflow. But since programming skills are so scarce, if you can code it makes sense to specialize in software development so you can make the biggest impact and maximize your income.
