Complexity is going to exist.
I've seen a lot of projects that try to 'make it simple', engineers go around saying "KISS". Hyper focused on simplifying everything. But they failed.
They only realize later that by simplifying, they have just shoved the complexity into some corner, and never dealt with it head on, and it just corrupts everything.
It's like cleaning house, and you just shove it all in the closet. Does it mean you are really neat? Is your life really simple?
It's like squeezing a water balloon. The complexity is going to bubble out and break somewhere. But you aren't in control of how it breaks.
So, just acknowledge that not everything can be 'simple' and deal with complexity.
