Yes and no. From my own experience I would agree that learning to code is initially easier than hard engineering disciplines. However, the worst code I've encountered is written by EEs and MEs that overestimate their skills. And, as mentioned elsewhere, there's a big difference between writing an application or two and being involved in a larger software engineering effort.
