I was a programming tutor back in my college days. Regardless of how intelligent the person I was tutoring may have been in other topics, if their brain wasn't wired to think in discrete, predictable, and logical steps to perform a task, forget it.
And yes, a small percentage of the population have their brains wired this way. I would put it at 10 or 15% of the population -- I think that 30% is too generous.
It’s probably the same for many talents. A gifted musician may not be a great athlete. A great coder may not be a great poet. There are a few people who are multi-talented.
Having taught math for a few years I can tell you not everybody has that ability. Some have just about zero ability to understand what it’s all about.
