Both have highly stressful moments, and both can require ingenuity to get things done well. Most of the time, the work you're doing as a web engineer isn't groundbreaking stuff - it's just perceived as more high-brow than serving tables. I've done both, and I'm glad I'm not a server anymore. The people are way more interesting in the kitchen than they are in some of the cubicles around me however. Sometimes I think about picking up some bartending shifts on a weekend night here or there for some extra cash and some extra entertainment.
