I agree, programming can be hard when you have to solve new problems from scratch. From my point of view, programming is a creative process, like writing, anybody can write, it's simple. But few are able to write a book, and very few are able to write a good one. If you are relying on others code/libraries, you are not solving any problems, all the heavy lifting has been done for you, and you are only fillings the blanks and/or stitching multiple stories together to write the book.
