I should've been more careful when I said that the "average person" would be able to learn how to code. You're right that I wasn't even thinking of those who had difficulty with the SAT, but rather those who went to good colleges and then went into a variety of non-tech fields, such as finance, law, medicine, or science. I was formally trained as a scientist, and many of my friends who didn't go into tech went into one of those 4 aforementioned fields. It's those groups of people (which is quite large) that I was referring to when I said that coding is something that can be self-taught with freely available online reference materials - myself and a couple of my friends have successfully done exactly that.
