What did you read of the article? Of course programming can be hard. Some of the brightest engineers and academics in the world have spent years on problems.
At that point it’s basically Maths - things like the Travelling Salesman problem - and the people going after such “programming” problems are actual Scientists and even then the problem is not in doing what AI does - writting the code - it’s knowing the logical solution which then determines the right code to write.
So your what you say doesn’t really contradict the previous poster - some of the brightest engineers and academics in the world have spent years working on problems - so figuring out what’s the right code to write - not actually in writting the code.
I suppose the only point of conflict is were the boundary between “programming” and “maths” is - if one think of it as “writting code” then both of you are saying the same.
