It really IS ridiculous. I even took a beginners coding class in high school. In the end, we will always needs programmers so if coding is your thing, keep doing it.

But I would personally rather construct a small home with my bare hands than learn to properly program. (I am not good at it…haha)

That’s the key point I reckon “if coding is your thing” many people are trying to learn a complex thing they have no interest in.

  Yes! I met someone who had no passion for programming, but just did it for the paycheck, but also had not reached a particularly good paycheck.
  
  I asked, “If you have no passion for it, what carries you through the soul crushing aspects?”
  
  And now he and I don’t talk about programming, anymore.

The neat thing about most jobs is you don’t have to be good at them to get paid.

  This also applies to your manager and coworkers though.
