Anyone can get to a Junior Developer level in a matter of weeks or months and, with some time and experience, master their coding skills... but coding is not everything.

I don't quite buy the idea that anyone can just master coding, regardless of time or experience. I don't even think that anybody can become really good at it. It's just like any other skill: It's just not for everyone.

That's a good point. Programming is not for everyone... but neither is driving, playing sports, or any other thing. I see coding as something from the movie Ratatouille: not everyone will become the best chef/coder in the world, but everyone can learn how to cook/code and do a decent job. Maybe not master-master, but at least good enough.
