Everything looks simple and easy from the surface.
Nine times out of ten when I hear a developer (or engineer, or lawyer, or wall streeter, or doctor, or contractor, almost anyone) saying something else is trivial or easy, it says a lot more about how little the person knows about the subject matter than the actual complexity of the subject at hand.
I can't think of one thing in my life that is gets simpler as you learn more. It is all corner cases and esoteric solutions to non-obvious problems as you get more advanced. Engineering, software, math, physics, language, philosophy, economics, politics, design, and every single sport I've ever played (not to mention most relationships) only seem to get more complicated the deeper you dive into them.
- tomjen3 16y agoHow does politics get more complicated as you drill down into it? Its about getting as much as possible for your self while giving all the blame on the "other" group. I agree with the other examples you have listed, but politics isn't nearly that complicated, nor are those involved smart.
