Honestly, I hate complex solutions. Even my own. What I like, and what impresses me, is the simple solution that takes a lot of work or math to prove it works. Like, emergent behavior type shit.
Control theory, for example, runs systems with very simple runtime behavior. A few open loops with some parameters. The analysis to chose those parameters is where the engineering happens.
Microservice practices are not yet that simple, but some day I hope they can be.
