I have been for 40 years. It is much the same the write a program to solve a simple problem once you learn the language. Some might be a little simpler at some problems where the libraries support what you want to do, but, on the whole, the same. Where things have changed a lot is 'presentation', which has become much better, no easier, maybe harder and 'deployment', which has become much harder simply due to the quantities of parts. Like a car, a lot more parts, individually no more complex, yet much more complex due to so many connected individual parts.
