Ask HN: Marketable dev skills for designers

So, I'm a designer focused on product (UI/UX/Business) and I'm learning code for personal reasons (some web dev and scripting). I'm wondering if there are some ways to add basic dev skills to my designer profile to be more marketable in the freelance market. The obvious would be front-end but I'm afraid it would push me towards a performer role than someone who think about the whole product. I would also be less efficient than a proper front-end dev so I wouldn't be really effective in larger teams. Plus I don't enjoy it that much. But hey if you've seen counterexamples, let me know.

Other things I thought about would be data analysis for research or MVP building, but I'm not sure if there is a proper market for this kind of profile. Any insights on thoses or other interesting skills you've seen ?
