IMO the things are not getting more difficult, we are just getting older and some of us don't want to adapt. I work with go (system programming) and containers today (I'm 40+, working since 94 with Unix) and the whole development/deployment process is way easier/cheaper/better engineered, than it was before when i was writing and maintaining C based services running on Unix. I remember the staging environment was a physical machine (an expensive spare machine idling), the test suite was bad, we needed a huge QA team, we used to debug stuff in production, every deployment was a surprise. Software engineering best practices were almost 0. > Try explaining your docker compose setup to a beginner that only knows how to use normal desktop software. Which "beginner that only knows how to use normal desktop" is trying to run "docker compose setup"?
