No, I think there's a valid point. The difference between a mild interest and a passion is precisely how much attention and effort you devote to it. When I was young, computers at home were quite rare. But once I was exposed to them I was hooked. I rode my bicycle to the Radio Shack and stood at the display model writing programs. I saved and bought a Sinclair ZX-80. Almost all of my free time went into programming. Then there are all the people I've known that say they want to learn to code. People who grew up with a computer, and went to school were there were programming classes, and work alongside programmers. They think they'd like to learn programming, but really they're not interested enough to bother.
