Is being a programmer hard?

Though many people are eager to learn and choose programming as a job like myself,is it common to feel under super pressure in your first project.

I think it comes down to the motivations that drove you to seek it out. Framing is everything!

"I wanted to be a programmer to make lots of money" --> could definitely lead you to a place where you're doing something that doesn't come naturally to you, that you don't necessarily enjoy, just to pay bills.

"I wanted to be a programmer because I love to do it" --> you're less likely to stratify it as "hard" or "easy" because anything that challenges you is just you perfecting your craft. It's a growth-oriented mindset.
