Is software development really that simple? I mean, I understand that there is a difference between a really good coder and someone like me, but still. I never had any courses on coding or did it myself and I was able to create a software in python pretty easily like is.
Though I largely do not understand every detail in my code, but just by googling, copying, pasting and googling some more if problems occur it seems quite easy.
