Complicated features don't require complicated solutions and processes.


Thats true, but people do crave complexity. If something is "too simple", often people, especially developers, are strangely suspicious of it being useful or competent. Present someone with something doing a couple things well but simply, you'll be normally greeted with a million comments of how it doesn't scale or give enough levers or do this or that.


most developers are not senselessly seeking complexity


Maybe. But they aren't consciously avoiding it either. Simplicity must be sought after.
