believe me we are all fed up with coders thinking they are so smart when literally they are glorified editors.  spend hours hunting around for a misplaced semi-colon or a lonely > 

coding is not that hard it is just most of us do not want to sit at a computer all day typing angle brackets & thankfully the competitive advantage coders had in the 90s and 00s is rapidly disappearing 

 Idk, there is certainly a skill set to it. Much like learning any language; it takes time and it doesn’t come easy to some. 

 yes—and the key to learning a language is to use it even when you know you are making errors & be ok with seeming dumb. put in the time and be ok with being an idiot. fyi: chatgpt is a really bad coder. do not ask it for help! will make a small mistake a huge mess.
