There's different kinds of easy and hard. There's hard like chipping away at a complex technical requirement until you finally understand it well enough to make what looks about as good as you might hope to make it. Then there's hard like you've been debugging for many hours on a problem over multiple days, to finally discover that there is a typo in your test input.
Attending these sorts of meetings even a few times per week sounds like the latter kind of hard for me--lack of progress for no good reason and a special kind of hell to have to repeat regularly.
