Yes and no. Cs is huge. People have preferences for what they’d rather be working on. But it seems it’s a lower div class, whose projects tend to be more general. There’s a possible cases: your peers find the project boring because it is trivially easy but just busy work to them; they find it hard; they are interested in something else in cs.

This assignment, in particular, has a reputation for being difficult, even nightmare inducing. I think it's a combination of I like challenges and I like development, while my peers might not like challenges as much or they might find it stressful.
