How long ago was this?
Programming has literally become meme tier and you never cross algebra 2 with non-scientific focused programming.
Yes, 30 years ago you had to be an actual smart boi to get into programming.

Speaking about Fortan and COBOL...I would wager it was somehwere at the end of 18th century

Rarely. Software engineering is usually much more challenging.

Depends on the language and what you're trying to do.
Go to a good tutorial site and try one or two.

I don't know. I've had never even attempted programming when I aced my mandatory class with barely any effort while high on a coke. I spent the rest of my college years getting invited to hackatons. Never won one, so maybe being a good programmer is hard.

It's harder than e.g. sales or any humanities, but (mostly) not harder than something like engineering, if we are talking about stuff like general data processing with Python. Systems programming is the same as engineering.

Depends on the task. There are easier and there are harder tasks in programming.

Depends on what you want to do with it. From what I learned its goal oriented. Gotta have something to do, then do it

No, not at all. CS is a free 4.0 unless you load your schedule with math course you will never make use of.

Sales is much, much harder than programming. That’s why sales people get paid so much more than programmers

Not harder than making actual good art, as someone who is both a programmer and aspiring artist.
