I've started to experience this going from an external consultant to an internal solo developer. We have removed so many bugs by removing complexity in the business. There were unmaintainable messes everywhere. I used to think the code was the problem. The real problem was the business had grown organically and the processes were inconsistent and complex. Simplifying them meant we could remove entire systems. Edge cases have been removed and all the code that handled them.
