Not for every useful application. Many people can benefit from understanding their work, explaining a request clearly, and evaluating an output. Coding becomes important when your goals involve building software, technical automation, or roles that specifically require it.
Let your intended task guide your learning. If you want help preparing clear customer instructions, practice writing and review first. If you want to build an application, investigate the technical foundations that requires. You do not have to adopt someone else's learning path before making progress on your own.
