I will say this. After all the thinking and discussion is done, code is the means by which the desired value is realised, so if you're an engineer and you never write any at all there is a chance you might not be as involved in delivering that value as you might like to think. Plenty of situations where that's not true, of course, but it's definitely one of those things that can be a smell.
