Maybe you’ve never held someone through their tears who’d sunk everything into a coding program, had been through several months of full-time instruction, had stayed late with the instructors at every opportunity, and just *couldn’t get it* like everyone else. I have. They exist.

Anecdata: My mother wanted to be a biologist, but she was poor so she had to study something practical. She went to college to become a systems analyst, but gave up after the she barely passed the coding class, and became an accountant instead.

I wonder if people who say "anyone can learn to code" would say the same about all endeavors & all people? eg, would they say "Any 12 yr old can learn to prove the same mathematical theorems that a mathematician can, as long as the 12 yr old really wants to & puts in the effort"?

And if not, where do they draw the line between "things everyone can learn with effort" and "things some people won't be able to learn" ?
