I would argue the same is true of farming as well, you're just comparing differences in final outcomes. You can start learning basic farming techniques with a few pots, some seeds, water and a sunny spot in the same way you can get a raspberry pi and a keyboard sourcing information for both from YouTube fairly effectively. There might be an argument for cost at the highest scale in each field which few in either profession really make it to but I'd bet even then its pretty on par. I've been a huge fan of comparing the complexity or cost of a profession. We as a species specialize because doing these tasks in the most efficient way requires managing large number of details that are not obvious at first glance.
