Frustrating? It's our greatest luck! If people would accept how easy programming is we wouldn't get paid that good for it on all levels.
Some jobs are protected by difficult, mandatory, exclusive education: Law, medicine, piloting. Software development is one of the least protected areas and we also face the threat of outsourcing. To most companies we are an unpleasant cost factor in need of optimization.
Unless you plan to become a manager or owner who profits from cheaper labor cost and more potential employees to chose from, do your part to keep people away from programming.
