There are two kinds of problem solver: The ones that think that a complex problem requires a complex solution and those who try to solve complex problems with elegant solutions. The first group transfers all the complexity directly to the solution, the latter tries to eradicate complexity by trying to simplify the problem first. I found that engineers tend to be usually in the first group. Designers (especially UX's) tend to form the second group. Example: This is (popular) software made by the first group: https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/assets/img-bru/mainscr.png https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/assets/img-bru/mainscr.p... This is essentially the solution at the same problem, made by the second group: https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/choose-batch-rename-files-specifics-new-names-mac.jpg https://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/choose-b...
