What are your programming hot takes?

Many people ‘learn programming’ only in so much as they know how to write code but they can’t solve a problem to save their life.

And while I wouldn’t say anyone is incapable of learning programming, some people certainly have a much, much harder time of it.

While I think everyone can eventually learn, I know a few smart people for whom it just doesn't click. Like, people who are great at math but get confused by simple concepts like variables and pointers. I know for me there are some topics that I just don't get myself and unable to make a first move. Like woodworking, how would I even approach something like building a chair? I have no idea even though I've read and watched a few guides, just got a myriad of dumb questions instead.
