Well...as someone who pursued both Art and Computer Science in college, I think I might have to respectfully disagree. Oftentimes, it took far more creativity for me to write elegant and sophisticated code that not only made my programs function, but do so in an efficient and effective way (with as few bugs as possible!) than it did to come up with a good idea for a poster or painting.
Quite a significant number of my colleagues in Computer Science were also very interested in all things art (though they did not pursue a degree in it like I did). I knew many that loved spending their free time sketching, painting, creating music, and writing stories.
I code, draw, and play a musical instrument... this statement is simply going off of the stereotypes, and is a logical fallacy stemming from assumption.
Coding is an EXTREMELY creative activity - the whole point of code is to create something interesting from the 0's and 1's. It’s just a different set of tools; a different medium, if you will.
This statement is like saying "I can’t learn how to paint because I’m an artist" - it doesn't make sense at all.

also, coding involves as much creativity as art, too.
