I totally agree with you, I just think that the ideas being discussed in this thread have a ton of nuance and they can be dangerous to introduce to a junior developer who doesn't quite realize the difference between the idea of "complexity" we're talking about here and the fact that he shouldn't be copy-pasting boilerplate code all over the app and copy-pasting directly from StackOverflow without any editing or integration of the code.
