First of all, "crazy" is a good thing if you're trying to make a difference. Think about that for a moment. It's not that obvious. When I realized this, I felt extremely liberated.
Anyway, one good way to do this may be to:
1. Take a hiatus. You may either tell your employer that you want to learn coding, or you may decide not to. Either way it's fine. Even if you tell your employer, if they are really top 3 tech company, they will understand and even encourage it. You can spin it as "I want to be a better PM and want to understand coding."
2. Learn coding
3. While you're learning, you may feel the urge to really jump in and become a professional programmer. Then be so.
4. If no spark comes during your time at those bootcamps, come back to work and continue. But even in this case, the world will be a completely different place for you than now.
Don't worry about people telling you that's crazy. Crazy is good.
