I've noticed that over the years, coding has gotten easier. That is the history of programming in a nutshell. I know I've told this story before, but my wife's uncle talks about the revolution he felt when FORTRAN IV was released. Finally you didn't have to know anything about computers or programming to write programs. You just told the computer what you want it to do and it sorted out all the hard stuff for you. Engineers like him could now just use computers on their own and didn't have to wait for the programmers to have time. He spent the rest of his career writing code without ever learning any of the 'craft' the veteran programmers at the time would have considered necessary.
