Code is the hard part if you are John Carmack or in a similar position where you have to squeeze every drop of performance from a hardware. That is the minority of programmers.

I don't think that is true. coding at a baseline is hard no matter what. If it was easy everyone could have done it, and clearly that isn't true.

Now there is hard-er coding. Novel algorithms, performance sensitive stuff, and so on.
