The question is a bit overloaded. How do you define hard? Mentally taxing? Time consuming to figure out? Requires collaboration with cross-functional SMEs to build a robust solution? I work in a distributed systems role. There are many things to consider all the time when building high throughput applications with multiple layers of concurrency, caching, micro services and points of failure. While I’m not proving the Hodge Conjecture, I’m still pretty beat at the end of the day constantly keeping up and learning things. People who claim things like front end is easy, then why are they themselves not the number 1 best front end engineer in the world? Because it’s hard. Everything has complexity.
