Having double-majored in both Computer Science and History at a Ivy League college, yes, based on my own personal experience, STEM fields are 10x more difficult than the humanities.https://twitter.com/AaronRHanlon/status/1067342389579317248 …

My own anecdotal experience at a similar school showed computer science to be mildly harder than humanities, while math, physics & astrophysics were *much* harder.

Be careful here. There's computer science, and then there's Computer Science. People learning to write web code like robots outside engineering curricula differ can wildly from people who write kernel code and design computer architectures. It's a *huge* field.

Exactly. My classes were "write a compiler", "write a memory allocator...with virtual memory", etc. Not "intro to Ruby".

"Design a CPU," "write your own OS," "build your own board," etc. ;) The fun stuff.

Yep. My favorite undergraduate project was in one of the two EE classes I took, where we designed a small CPU. I still remember laying out logic gates (one paper!) to build the ALU.
