I can appreciate the difficulty - I&#x27;m a full stack web developer by trade, and I&#x27;ve built multiple full stack web app side projects (everything from setting up and deploying S3 on CloudFlare, issuing IAM Amazon permissions, to writing React, all the way to Elixir modules calling C scripts). As @lukaslalinsky pointed out, it&#x27;s a different kind of hard.<p>And still, given all of that, my head spins about the idea of building a compiler from scratch or writing MIPS.
