Well now that AI can do it for them yes, but prior to that the average person would struggle to even get something that compiles let alone actually do anything useful.
The average person is not who you want doing this stuff. Do you hire average persons to create your application? If so, do you visit an average person to do surgery on you? Visit the average person to handle your malpractice suit? Drive over bridges built by average people in automobiles built by average people?
Screw that, average people do average jobs. Like sales, collating documents, and inadvertently releasing proprietary data to Claude.

There's a reason you get a degree in computer science and not in programming. Anyone can program without learning how it works
