Extremely well said. I too found myself recently in a position where a friend asked me if I could teach him how to code. I often found myself saying that coding is easy, coding is just a tool that you have to master (like a farmer has to master [insert agricultural tool here]). But I knew this is actually false. Coding is easy only after you get the hang of it. The thing is, although coding IS just a tool, mastering this tool is not for everyone. Even if you have a strong mathematical background, coding will not come easy to you and you most likely will not end up being a guru. Robert Smith is absolutely right - coding is not for everyone. I find coding to be different than anything else I've done before. It requires a different, sometimes weird way of thinking.
