As someone in a programming adjacent job (which still involves a lot of coding and debugging, looking at my current career in comparison with other jobs I've had I think it's not all jobs, but it's about jobs that require specificity.

Some pick up the fundamentals on their own and end up getting good at it. Some pick up the fundamentals, either through education or hobby, but never really get a good grasp on it. And some fail to pick up the fundamentals. Programming is a job that requires a certain level to at least be useful, and failing that can lead to a lot of frustration.

    I don't know I disagree with the specific jobs that require specific skills. I mean hell I've seen fast food workers that have been doing it for years get annoyed at people that come in and can't do what they consider basic.
