Lets get contexts clear. Coding is different from programming. Coding is the ability to write instructions in a language that the computer understands. Programming involves the bigger picture of creating an outline and structure to the program’s code, before the code is written. After the code is written, the programmer needs to make sure it works and maintains it over time. (See ref below for more details) It is easy to code. Just learn the syntax. To program is a different ball game. Following these definitions, many people are coders who can replicate a ui design for example, but cannot sit down to develop the logic for the whole project on their own to make a production ready application. This is the hard part. https://www.uopeople.edu/blog/coding-vs-programming/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

SavageBoy: 1. The simplicity or complexity of a matter has different sides. To a man who has taken his time to understand complex material, that complex material becomes simple. To a man that is unfamiliar with that complex material, that material is complex and confusing. 2. It comes down to understanding whether the f material is simple or complex by popular consensus. There are some things that by popular consensus are easy, but, difficult for the average or dumb man. It is no longer a matter of if that material is inherently complex or simple but the capacity of the learner. 3. Here comes IQ. Most people downplay the effect of IQ until it becomes difficult to cross a mark. This doesn't indicate that those with Low IQs, can't achieve better performance if they put in the work; the fact is that they will struggle hard, and only a few of them will succeed especially when it comes to STEM. 4. The STEM field is hard, a tough struggle, and only fit for those with high IQs. Even intelligent people struggle with many scientific and technological sectors, not to talk of low IQs. The people that hit it big in programming/coding within 6months - 1 year are those with two or all of the following: A. High IQ. B. Good environment for learning and support. C. Easy access to top programmers. D. Mentors from day 1. E. Money. F. Free time. G. Early internship. High IQ will struggle if environmental and socioeconomic factors are not taken care of. And harder for those with low IQ. 5. What the Op said is correct. You are correct too. Programming is no child's play according to experts and those proficient in the game. To succeed in this game, put aside making it big in the next 6 months - 1 year. Invest much time and be patient. With constant practice and investment, you too will break through. 6. Whether medicine or computer programming, STEM is hard. But you can succeed if you choose to + being favored by luck and chance. Thanks. 6 Likes 1 Share |
