This is a great answer.

It’s easy to assume someone else’s job is simple when you don’t understand it.

I bet we all know a few “Business” people that assume sysadmin is just turning on machines, and programming is really simple and easy.

But the reverse happens all the time too, where “technical” people assume the business jobs are easy. That sales, management and marketing are easy.

None of the jobs are easy. Lack of understanding the difficulty is not evidence of simplicity.
