I think as you go on it becomes a out being sure that you are solving problems in the simplest way possible. Chances are even with the simplest solution possible you will still need to do some creative stuff.

However, too many programmers in my experience (including myself) can frett about using tools and features that are cool little puzzles, but don't really contribute to the core solution and can in the worst case even make less manageable code.

As in all things, it's about finding the balance for the context. Let your personal projects be where you play with new tools while you keep solutions for your job dead simple due to all the job-related reasons to do that.
