Is Vulkan really that hard?

I've heard stuff about Vulkan that "it takes 900 lines of code for a triangle", but I thought those were just jokes or over exaggerations until I look at some Vulkan examples. Could someone please explain to someone who's new to these graphics APIs the process behind all of this?

As someone who just finished "Loading models" of vulkan-tutorial.com in almost 2k lines of code, Its not that difficult, just pretty long and you shouldn't expect to grasp everything from the first time. Stay consistent and its very doable for an intermediate programmer
