But it’s _not_ abhorrently bad. There are so, so many high quality platforms out there which exist solely to teach coding. It’s not 1990 where people learn C++ from a textbook anymore, the bar for good programming education is actually incredibly high now.

I’m of the opinion that coding just something not everyone is going to like, just as I’ve never enjoyed painting or basketball. I don’t think there’s a lack of good tools, we just started with an incorrect premise that it’s possible to design a tool that makes someone like something that they assuredly don’t.
