I'm not a developer but I write a lot of code for network infrastructure automation... when I started learning I was already a network engineer so I figured it would be a cakewalk. I think it takes a certain type of person (patience, persistence, tenacity, etc) to excel in a computer science field. I'd reckon a lot of young people think the jobs are all pretty sweet and cushy
