> 5% or less of programming is hard: it’s the stuff that interview questions refer to. You might need to think about algorithms, might need to try out multiple strategies before deciding on the one. The author is correct that most programs don't need complex or clever leetcode type algorithms, but IMO program architecture is just as difficult to get right for any program longer than a thousand lines.
