This definitely resonates with me. Guess it helps that we've all probably been on both sides here. The last time one of our juniors did something overly complicated I showed them some code from an old commit I made years ago, and asked them to explain what it did - neither of us could figure it out in a reasonable amount of time 🤣
I vividly remember some of the garbage code I've written in the past. Huge interface definitions... Weird and brittle abstractions... Overly complex processes to do what should have been a simple task...
Funny thing is, I read and understood the same kinds of things as any other coder worth their salt: agile, SOLID, YAGNI, do one thing well, and so on -- but it was all just theory. It takes experience and mistakes to really grok it all.
