Some people can't learn to code because their mind just doesn't work that way.

That very assertion is what I am saying is false. That is a belief you have about how our minds work. I have not seen evidence for it.

Want to see evidence?

1. Go to a mental hospital.

2. Find the most insane person there.

3. Teach them how to code.

Once you've done that, I will grant you that anyone can learn to code.

I'm talking about people who do not have severe mental disabilities or disorders that prevent them from even doing basic things.
