think the rise of the metacreators in software contributes to a lot of noise which indirectly makes things difficult lot of people with large followings espousing opinions and practices when they hardly spend time shipping product. this makes it hard, for even someone senior and experienced, to know what they should pay attention to. sometimes it feels like you should pay attention to things you fundamentally know doesn't make sense. and a lot of energy goes into unwinding mainstream rhetoric I cite this as difficult because while most of the other hard parts of software are enjoyable, this one is just an energy suck
