> Humans don't like simple things.

It's amazing how true this is. You can see it very clearly in your day-to-day as a software engineer. The vast majority of people you will encounter in your career favor fancy, complicated solutions to problems that could be easily solved with fewer resources. And yet when you float those ideas, you're laughed at.

Maybe what you think is simple problem isn’t so simple after all... This is the mark of an inexperienced software engineer in my book. Not understanding the true complexity of a given situation. I still catch myself doing it.

I'm a senior engineer with 15 years of experience. Pretty sure I have a good grasp on "complex" vs. "unnecessarily complicated," and I see the latter a lot more than I would like to.
