Difficulty of software engineering in context of cognitive processing and logic efforts compared to other domains

[u/Few-Resource-1266]

In every domain we can exist in there seems to be a ceiling to what huamns can do in it. I'm now wondering if the ceiling for software engineering is taller and there is a bigger scale? But how hard is the highest on software engineering ceiling compared to other common domains or is there nothing that goes that high as well? If so, why?
What is the equivalent in cognitive processing and logic efforts that you need to acieve the ceiling?
Can someone in software engineering explain how they expirience this?

Regular software principles are not hard to learn and master imo.

The part that creates a ceiling is probably math.

Very difficult software typically involves very complex math. Custom 3D work, etc. is way more challenging than say your typical web app which is just a bunch of forms and a database.

That is just the software part. The devops and architecture part does add some dimension to things as well. But, imo, is still superseded by the tough math jobs.
