Cause handling people and their issues is about 5000 times harder than handling code. Your code doesn't get cancer, run away with a coworker, go bankrupt, have opinions, lie, steal, needs to be told how to use a restroom, needs protection when it's layoff season etc etc etc

> needs to be told how to use a restroom

If I can go a whole quarter without seeing some unspeakable mess in the bathroom of a fortune 50 company, that would be amazing. 7+ years in, so far no luck.

I'm of the opinion that any job is super hard if you apply yourself.

You seem to have a problem hiring the right people ;-)
How many people have you hired and managed?
