I actually learned HTML, CSS and JS way back when I was in 6th grade. This was pre dot-com time and there were only a handful of resources. You could understand HTML and CSS in a day because there were so few HTML tags and requirements. 'Frameworks' was something that didn't even exist.

I somehow stopped my learning process before I hit 8th grade (around the same time I discovered that the opposite sex exists). When I picked it up again recently, the sheer number and complexity of frameworks and languages itself was daunting.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for someone who hasn't had a lick of coding experience. I could at least build a good looking website in HTML, CSS and simple JS before I started learning how to code.

It's damn tough and it has given me newfound respect for top coders. I work in marketing in my day job, and honestly, you could teach someone to replace me within a few weeks
