It took me looking at unfamiliar programming languages and realizing that I could read most of them without really knowing them for me to realize I probably could learn to at least read another language.
It's been years since then and I'm still probably shit at Spanish, but just like programming languages regular languages were made by humans to communicate with other humans, you're capable of understanding any of them given a reasonable amount of time and guidance.

you just made me inadvertently realize that's exactly why AI will never take development jobs.

They are very much aimed at humans.
Crafted to hurt humans, but still.

Real programmers modulate their voice and scream precisely into the microphone such that the recorded audio file is valid machine code.

I'm not looking for a solution, I want to gain empathy so I can be a better leader for my peers and followers. I want to understand how you get through life and what affects this thing that makes you diverse from me so that I can positively impact the people around me.

I think it's "learned helplessness", sadly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness
Like much of math, people are often eager to talk about the cool stuff and make it sound hard because they are proud they understood it. For a newcomer, this is just a brick in the face.

Oh ok
I'm not a professional in this, I'm afraid that I can't help you

Exactly!
Literally everything we ever came up with is comprehensible by humans, and is likely to be comprehensible by a layman given enough time and making sure prerequisites are filled.
In fact, it takes a good explanation that would click with a given person's experience and level of expertise to make anyone understand anything.
It's just that sometimes people need that specific thing X, and normally it's needed to those who have some knowledge in another specific thing Y, and it gets expected that a person needing X knows Y (which is not necessarily true)
This is especially common in the world of computers. Everyone uses them, everyone has to troubleshoot them, but not everyone is the system administrator, to which 85% of the guides often seem to be addressed.

A lot of people really have difficulty with maths and programming.
The way i imagine it, programming is something non-real, something metaphysical, or how you want to call it. And a lot of people even plainly reject that such a thing meaningfully exists. Think about how many people reject the existence of "spirits", "demons", or "god", based on nothing else but the argument that it is not tangible. Something similar is going on with maths and programming.

Assembly is just a high level language for people without a hole puncher

And guess who X86 was designed for.
Yes. Humans.

When AIs start actually coding, they're all going to just probably use the native instructions.
