    Programming is for all to learn and do as an ameteur.
    But the jobs for it is the premium one where it is not free, not given to all that applies in first come first serve basis.
    Most companies have technical interviews which are actually exams which will test you on your intelligence and fast thinking.
    That's the 'price' for that career where you need to 'pay the price' by working hard to crack those exams.

      I learned Python in 5 hrs youtub video and next week I cracked VMWARE and Altassian interview as Principle SRE. In order to get into Google or even in VMWARE or Altassian or Meta you need to demonstrate more of what you can deliver and innovate of what you already know
