It's a bit like saying "Writing English was always the easy part" vs. writing a book that becomes a best-seller or classic.

I think thats a great analogy. There are a lot more people who can dictate a story page by page to a "writing machine" and create a 300 page book than there are who can write a 300 page book of a the same quality without a writing machine.

Same with coding. Most programmers, and writers, are average. They are not doing amazing work. They get paid 80-120k, same as the HR professional, or the account manager.

Creating average work was always relatively easy for writing and coding and is now relatively easy for everyone.

Correct! I’d go further and say typing is the easy part of writing a book, and I absolutely agree with that
