It's not bad advice. Coding is like learning a language, almost an essential skill today. You should learn to code AND do whatever else you want to
Learn French or Chinese or some other language that gives you access to a fucking human culture.

Learning to code != become an engineer
There's a big difference between doing her own statistics in R and hacking the microwave oven to receive free HBO. I would expect that that a poli sci professional would be capable of doing their much of own statistics and that means…coding.
No, Jeet, it's *good* advice. Seriously, what do you think it *means*? This is a freaking Poli Sci student - do you think it makes sense in 2019 to be a Political Scientist who doesn't understand how to code? Answer: It doesn't. Key prob is YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT "CODING" IS.
