I actually enjoy coding - I learned some HTML/CSS and the very basics of JS to be able to work better with developers, and I'm not properly learning Swift so I can be able to make stuff on Apple's ecosystem. I find it enjoyable and I think the problems you have to solve - the mindset that is, is not that different from the one required to be a good UX designer.
What I am strongly against is companies expecting designers to code to save a buck. I would never do both fields professionally, because then I could master neither, so I could never do more than build simple static sites with pretty average design.
