As many have noted, it’s harder because you’re now starting at a much higher level of abstraction. This makes it very, very difficult to develop an understanding of how any of this stuff actually works. As we push further and further away from the actual machines doing the work, understanding everything that makes up that huge stack gets way more complicated. Always start at the bottom and work up. You’ll avoid much of the frustration of confusion, at the expense of a slow start. Most importantly, when you’re done you’ll be useful at every level.
