I wasn’t meaning that at all. I meant that if you have to ask why people solve problems with over complicated solutions, you haven’t been doing this very long.
The answer is: it’s in our nature to make simple things difficult.
It shows more maturity if you just accept people do stupid things without trying to pry a rationale out of them IMO.
Is snarkily telling someone they're not good enough helpful?
Seems like a moment where you could share what you know (as someone, presumably, has been in the industry long enough) and help someone.
(FWIW it sounds like a decent question to me: but then again undoubtedly I have not been in the industry long enough!)
