Do they actually have any interest in programming? Development can be incredibly stressful and frustrating and without any personal passion or interest for it, I doubt someone could really stick to it for the long-term. There are many jobs in tech that would have an easier learning curve IMHO (customer support, success, QA, growth hacking, even UI/UX design).
