Perhaps, depending on your definition of programmers, but lots of people can use logic. An accountant making complex calculations and forecasts in Excel is surely just as logic and precise as a programmer hacking something together in Python.

That’s true. But some of the best programmers I knew were accountants.

There’s a difference between being able to program (everyone) and being a professional programmer.

It’s like everyone can cook dinner but not all can be a chef. This doesn’t mean the solution is microwaveable meals for everyone.
