If a journalist with no experience learned to code on the side and built something interesting we would applaud. We wouldn't make them an SRE at Google or Uber.
The obvious counter to this argument is that Google, Uber, etc frequently acqui-hire companies founded by people with no professional experience. That's the very definition of hiring someone because they made something interesting.
