> We still have not understood how to tach coding. The subject seems to be completely non linear, and some people get stuck and cant move on

The same can be said about any subject or skill.

If you go to any class, you'll find some people are interested, others aren't. No matter the subject, be it sport, physics, math, chemistry, art, history, etc. Same teacher, same material, different reaction from students.

There's no artificial "ceiling" at play that's specific to coding.

I think the problem with coding is that people who are very interested still get stuck, I suspect this happens less often with people interested in chemistry/math etc. (possibly because of survivor bias because people drop out of it sooner, because there is no money in it)

There are countless reports of people 'not getting it' after studying for 4 years, they cant make fizzbuzz, and I dont mean they dont get some nuance of it, they literally cant even start typing.

I dont think there is artificial "ceiling" to coding, I think we still have to learn how to teach it, and particularly how to teach it to a mass of people.
