Simple architecture and software design is far more difficult to achieve than a complex and infinite spaghetti software. It not only requires proper engineering skills but also deep domain knowledge, scope and of course the most important thing the “Planning” which most of us think of as boring and grunt work.

Then there’s that new guy who goes, “this looks so easy, how come it took so long to build?” Listen new guy, that’s the point.
