I said this in different ways before and got shoveled because of the way I said it:

None of us know how to farm, not even the chefs who cook for us at a restaurant or fast food joint, but we eat every day and nobody's going around making people feel guilty about not knowing how to till soil and sow seeds..

In programming and other creativity, most people's skills will [have to] change/evolve into managing, directing, dictating, knowing what you want, describing it, and focusing on the end product and iterating,

instead of wrestling with why the f is a string a pointer to a pointer to a character

just like we don't track the phases of the moon and seasonal rainfall before we can have a nice salad to eat.

Yeah but should programming issues become "how can I be more friendly to the waiter so they give me what I want?"

That's not what I want programming to become. I'd choose a different profession then. Maybe I'd become a surgeon because the AI labs haven't cracked robotics yet. And the people in general look up to surgeons and down to IT people, but that's another story.

In which language a string would be a pointer to a pointer to a character?

Even in C, string literals are simply a sequence of null-terminated char, no pointer involved.

That’s one of the worst analogies I’ve seen lately

Are you sure that was the problem? Because to me it seems like it’s the argument which doesn’t hold. You’re engaging in what is called a False Equivalence.

Those things are not the same. Crucially, the food you buy at the store or restaurant is heavily regulated, provenance established, safety checks in place. When there’s a widespread issue, we have systems in place for recalls. The differences don’t stop there, and you can’t ignore them just because the processes so ingrained and well established that you forget they’re there.
