That's a really naive assessment of his comment. I share a similar sentiment as the OP here, programming (not coding) is hard. A lot of us get paid well to solve complex problems for clients who expect us to do the job right. Institutions like codecademy, and other "learn to code" incentives make it seem like you can just knock some achievements off a list and bang, you're on the way to being a programmer!
Having spent a lot of time around industry vets and people who started doing this stuff in the 80s, these "nice new services" aren't all they're cracked up to be. The freelance coder market is becoming an annoying thing for the reputation of programmers, consultants and companies who know their shit, and do a great job for their paying customers.
