Yeah this is exactly what I mean by a certain kind of logical thinking. It's made worse by these tasks seeming a lot more simple than they actually are, before you even think about accidental complexity.
What's frustrating is when programmers mistake inherent complexity for the accidental kind and therefore label the whole enterprise a terrible mess.
In fact overall I think this distracts from ACTUAL accidental complexity since if you think programming is generally terrible you'll probably not be too interested in some small details of that :)
