- crustycoder 2y agoExperienced people use complex solutions because they know it's the only way they can get stuff to work at the scale they need. Inexperienced people use complex solutions because they think if the experienced people use it, it must be the right thing to do, no matter what the scale is. Always use the simplest thing that will work.
