No, tech is not easy. I dont think I’ve met a software engineer in my entire 20 year career who would characterize programming as “easy”. I don’t think of law, medicine, and architecture as easy either. I’m sure I could have been an architect, if I spent years learning it like I did programming. But that doesn’t make it easy.

Software engineers command huge salaries because it’s not easy. Just because anyone can learn anything doesn’t make everything is easy.

I don’t understand why tech celebrates amateurism and ignorance... We don’t all know everything but we shouldn’t wear our ignorance like a badge of honor either.
