Fair enough, but you are defending programming as a hobby or academic pursuit. That is not the context established by the original video, which was programming as a profession.
Typically:
Professional programming ≈ Logic + Communication + Fat Salary + Bureaucracy/Politics - Predictability - Sufficient Time/Dev Resources - Personal Time
If anything, perhaps some ambiguity can be removed by titling it "Professional programming is not for everybody".
