One data point: teenagers can drive cars but are rarely hired as developers. I haven’t quite thought it through enough to conclude that driving is easier though.

I think anyone attempting to compare the difficulty of abstractly related things runs into the problem of unrealized depth in the maneuver.

you can spend a lifetime sharpening your developer skills, same goes for driving.

in old age i've settled on the answer that most things really can't be compared in such terms. It runs into the donnie darko "not everything is black and white" issue real fast.

Teenagers are rarely hired as professional drivers either, and they often learn how to write code.
