I’d say same is true for cybersecurity. You don’t need to code as much yourself but you still need to understand how code is written.
I find that cybersecurity actually forces you to deal with the hardest parts about coding-- which is not the code itself, but figuring out how everything interfaces together, resolving or exploiting conflicting/outdated dependencies, implicit assumptions about directory structure, etc, etc.
Just because you don't have to code in cybersecurity doesn't mean you don't have to think like a coder.... and all the hardest bits too.
