Yes, anybody can be a programmer as they only need to:

  • Know how to solve problems in a logical fashion (1), including by splitting them into smaller ones first;
  • Learn the tools (2), e.g. programming languages, frameworks, etc., that can be used on the computer;
  • Be able to figure out “puzzles” (1) by applying the tools (2) properly.

No, not anybody can be a programmer as they really need to:

  • Know how to solve problems in a logical fashion, including by splitting them into smaller ones first, down to the very steps that machines can perform;
  • Learn the tools, e.g. programming languages, frameworks, etc., that may be used on thecomputer, and each, when — an always ongoing update process that requires lots of passion;
  • Be able to figure out “puzzles” by applying the tools properly, minimizing effort, yet producing performant solutions.
