Would you advise non-technical PM’s joining a coding bootcamp?

I’m currently looking for new opportunities and I find that when it comes to the final stages of the recruiting process, PMs with more technical skills get the role.

As a PM, you should know the architecture of your product's tech-stack, so that you could have meaningful conversations with your engineers about tradeoffs, capabilities, limitations, and estimates.

You don't necessarily need to know how to code, unless your product is code (ie PM for Swift at Apple).
