> easy things seem easy primarily because they are familiar
This is also why I struggle to answer the question "is it hard". Is it hard to build a web-app? No. But I've been building web-apps for 20 years. Will you find it hard (if you've never programmed before)? I don't know, if you want to build one this weekend, sure. If you have the patience to spend a few years learning first, then no.
