It's very easy for someone to misinterpret 3. as "I could tell you if I think you can ever code, so I would amend it to "I could tell you if I think you can code now". "Can't code now" could become "Is a great coder" later. Everyone is at their own place on their path. We've all traveled that path. I look at some of my code as recently as a year or two ago and I'm embarrassed. Nobody here should get discouraged. You should just get better.
