There's two reasons why a non-technical founder should learn to code:
1: To get past the "computers can read minds" trap, and to have a high level understanding of what's going on under the hood. (Elon Musk knows an awful lot about how his cars work.)
2: For the same reason CTOs need to understand topics like product-market fit.
