What is it with developers and their code-centric view of employment? Any idiot can "write code" in 2017. It's not particularly difficult. You might do it slightly better but still your profession is not by a long shot "difficult".
Can you work in a team? Can you communicate? Do you dress in a presentable manner? Can you explain technical ideas simply? Do you know anything beyond cutting code?
It's simply not good enough to be some lone-ranger ubercoder anymore. Coders are a dime a dozen.
I'd actually rather take someone with a degree in statistics or physics, let them learn to code on the job, and I'd be able to apply them to an order of magnitude more problems than your typicall mathematically illiterate self-styled genius who can write a bit of code.
Programming is the easy part, stop deluding yourself into thinking what you do is difficult. It isn't.
