I dunno. Coding is the easiest part of programming, in a sense. The challenges in programming aren't literally "writing code", once you achieve a certain degree of facility with the language and libraries you are using. The challenge is, of course, solving the problem - doing the intellectual work. I get that people often say "writing code" and also mean the intellectual work of programming / CS / software engineering (whichever may be appropriate), but I really don't think that's accurate. Hope that makes sense and isn't pressing too fine a point on it.
