Coding is like math. You have a problem, and need to reach the solution. Often there are specific and concrete steps you need to take to reach the solution.

Despite this, a lot of people just don't get math. Being able to go from an abstract problem to a concrete solution isn't just "write code until it works".

And like math, most people are "bad" at coding. By bad I mostly mean they get frustrated and don't see the point or don't get the rewarding feelings of solving something. They could get better, even great at it but they need to work very hard for a long time.
