It is. Try teaching coding to someone non technical, especially someone that doesn't want to learn, and by the time you get them to understand what a variable is, you will fully understand that coding is not for everyone.

What he suggested wasn't viable in terms of productivity either. One may be programmer but don't want to spend time administering the insignificant parts of the system.

I never understood the culture of elitism in system micro-administration by hobbyist crowd.
