Short answer: YES, it is
Long answer: It depends on how you tackle the complex parts of programming, uncertainty, and pressure. At the start it might be quite hard to grasp some concepts, but with time it gets easier and easier. It also depends on how you define hard, for me the hard part is not programming but the soft skills around it (e.g. dealing with clients, attending meetings, etc...). That beeing said, if you enjoy it and enjoy failure and learning continously, you will have a better time than somebody who does not like failure for example.
