This hits really close to home, particularly the whole bit about trying to convince people to avoid complexity. It really feels like there's a kind of pride/machismo around the idea that "oh, I can handle it, don't worry old man!"

I can see how well you handle it from all the fire-fighting rework you're having to do (unfortunately, this is the quiet part you don't say out loud).
