There were countless times where I've seen junior devs approach a problem by thinking up the most complicated and clever solution possible, only to have to rewrite it all later because it justwouldn'twork in reality. It's only after these hurdles that one discovers that the cleverness isn't in creating complexity from the get go – it's in keeping things straightforward.
