Requirement gatherings and analysis is 90% of the job, software design is the other 90%. Once that's done, it's very easy to code the project. If it's not, take a step back and fix the error you've made at the previous steps (mostly due to a lack of information). A lot of people think that coding is hard, but that's because they start to code too soon. And then the really hard activities get mixed in and it becomes a whole mess. Also it's quite easy to code, which is why inexperienced people usually rush to do it. Take someone like that and do proper software engineering, and for the first two activities, all you will get from them is a lot of "I don't know".
