Coding takes effort. Really good coding takes smarts + effort. An awesome application takes effort, smarts, a great idea, luck, good design, lots of time, etc. Codecademy should be encouraged because it gets people an entry point to developing, but I suspect you're underestimating the effort required to produce Call of Duty or Google Docs.
