Yes but that job is easy to execute, and there is no risk of falling behind and one day not knowing how to do the job because things evolved so quickly and you slacked off on weekends instead of trying to keep up. Additionally, it's not a job that in order to do better requires you to isolate yourself more and more. The better code you want to write, the more you need to practice, which may mean more hours alone. This pace kills your social life much quicker than many other lines of work, imho. Just saying it's really more subjective than anything else, not to mention all the other possible variables which combined make it hard to say whether any line of work is harder/easier than some other one.
