I don't agree at all that it's the easiest of careers.
I never had to work free overtime as a postal clerk until 1AM because of a production bug in deployment
I never had to figure out how to fix a fry machine on-the-spot at McDonald's because the person who normally fixes it is on vacation in the mountains
I also never had to learn brand new ways of driving cars every few months as a valet driver.
Maybe your software engineering job is easy but, this is the most stressful job I've had. And i'm not your average HN'er that's only ever known being a code slinger
