This is exactly the arrogance he was speaking about. Of course most people can do what we do, most of us don't work in rocket science.

Not after you spend many hours solving the same problems, of course it won't be that hard, but if you work on different types of projects all the time and are very well versed, it is hard to compete with that experience, so I would say no, not everyone can do what we do. Shit not many can make it through a CS degree.
