Agreed, At University as I am seeing right now most of the students rolling into software or CSE dept is because of the current glorified state of the computer industry. Some of them hate to learn new things and problem-solving as a whole. Thinking between changing the major or just hanging out as see where it goes.
I disagree. The sad fact is there are people who are missing out on the opportunity to code because of the environment as-a-whole.
Or worse, people who make the effort to learn to code, only to be shut down by people who have this mindset of only certain types of people can code.
Taking away superficiality, if a person has the qualifications and the personality, what's holding them back?

Jonathan just pointed out two things holding people back:
Not all people have the right circumstances to commit time to learning to code.
Prejudiced mindsets can easily discourage fledgling engineers.
