Yeah, commenter you're responding to is basically saying "to get a coding job, you'll need to look through dozens of job sites, prepare for interviews, fail a bunch, keep up-to-date on your skills, take informational interviews, and heavily work personal connections."
Unless you're a standout prodigy, in which case people will message your LinkedIn begging you to consider interviewing for six-figure positions.
The problem is you want a coding job, which requires lots of preparation and perhaps talent. Getting a job flipping burgers is much easier - you just have to show up. but everyone wants the coding jobs ;-)
