I'm not a software developer and I haven't touched code, aside from pasting some ad script into my website, since trying to copy paste sections of C++ on MUDs in the 1990's.
That's not entirely true, I have been trying to learn Atari BASIC (vintage computer fan, 8-bit Ataris are my interest) but it's slow going. It's more like feeling stupid and growling at my PVM. I do not think like a machine. I'd have better luck writing a sonnet from a can of alphabet spaghetti than I would writing a meaningful bit of code.
People tend to forget HN is more than programmers.
