Which is harder — Software Development or DevOps?

Hi everyone, my name is Akash Patil. I’m a MERN Stack Developer with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a question for everyone — which do you think is harder: software development or DevOps? Or does it just vary from person to person?

I’m asking because, during my 2-year web development journey, I never felt that much excitement — until I started learning Docker. I haven’t mastered it yet, but it really caught my attention. Now, I’m seriously considering transitioning into a DevOps role.

I’m sure I’ll get some great insights from this amazing community.
