Well, this comment is a little bit late since it is after a week this post got published but let me tell you how I feel about this question.
Honestly NO! Not everyone can become a developer. This doesn't mean that developers are aliens or they are special people, no! Developing needs passion - needs love and of course time!
Lots of my friends who were fascinated seeing me coding tried to learn to code and asked me if they can learn it well and I was like YES OF COURSE WHY NOT? Yet most of them failed because they were feeling frustrated by all the things they don't know! They had no passion to learn.
So being a developer is a special task that only people with passion can claim to be.

Thank you Adnan!

To be honest, this is also how I see it. Technically, anyone can become a developer, but there are so many other factors that come to play like the wish/motivation/suitability of the field etc.
