I think talent certainly gives you a head start, but experience becomes increasinly relevant as time progresses. Programming is the art of dividing a problem into (preferably reusable) smaller pieces. It takes practise and experience to know the best way to achieve that. A certain level of intuition helps, but I believe there's nothing in the field of programming that is innately unlearnable, so intuition can be substituted with continued practise.
