Do you genuinely believe those 4 years were spent writing code?
This is why wet behind the ears tech boys can't be trusted any more. They really think that the hardest part of software, the thing that slows us down, is writing code. Really!?
Kid, I'll offer you some free advice. Writing the code is the least difficult part. Deciding what and how to write (and what not to bother with) is a critical step that has nothing to do with writing code. Designing the architecture, ensuring it's correct, leaving something well written and maintainable for the next grunt, documenting code so it's easy to understand and to review, ensuring your code supports all the desired use cases and interactions with users and other code/apps/etc, iterating on it until it's polished, and then actually maintaining it and fixing bugs that are inevitably going to be there if the code is sufficiently expansive. Those are just a few of the things that aren't "grinding code" as you want to make software.
Read a programming book for Pete's sake, and stop assuming you can just fake it till you make it because you are part of what's destroying software for the world and it's got to stop.
