This is funny, but it's like saying "Math is basically pluses and minuses". I see coding as playing with hardware without having to use soldering iron.

A marathon is just putting one foot in front of the other, after all. What’s the big deal? I mean a two year old can do that, and they can’t even handle logic yet.

And really, aren't loops just ifs and jumps under the hood? So coding is just ifs

Indeed. Jump on zero and integer manipulation are sufficient for turing-completeness. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_machine

All you really need is `mov`.
