Is it? A couple of million people have learnt to code quite well. Some learnt quickly, others after lot of time and effort. Most are still learning after years of experience.

Learning something new is generally difficult. For example, a baby doesn't just stand up and walk. Most people don't just get on a bike and pedal away the very first time.

If you would like some help from HN folks, perhaps you could tell us what language(s) you have tried, describe how you find learning to code difficult, what you have tried and what the results have been so far. Doing so might elicit feedback that is in line with your experiences to date.
