Actually it is harder to learn certain types of programming now than ever before due to the proliferation of incidental complexity and tooling. Take web development frontend for example. Back in the 90s, you could get away with knowing basic HTML and a bit of JavaScript becaus CSS didnt even exist yet. Frameworks were certainly not a thing. Other forms of systems programming that involve concurrency etc are also newer. So is cloud. The list goes on... Every generation faces issues and programming IS hard. It is unfair and condescending to write this office as a millennial concern.
