> They have a big appetite for adding complexity to systems Truly brilliant engineers write code and systems that look almost stupid simple, but solve truly complex problems. You want engineers who take a complex and difficult problem and turn it into a solution so stupid simple that everyone else goes “Wait, that’s it?”. What you got on your hands is a failure of management to feed difficult problems to bored engineers. When problems are easy, engineers will make them hard to stay entertained.
