Me no like grug perpetuate complexity myth. Little grugs no understand complexity is not monolith. Me want fix that.

Complexity not bad. Complexity just mean "thing have many consideration". Some thing always have many consideration. Not bad if useful and necessary.

Complexity still difficult and raise problem. So try avoid complexity when unnecessary and no add value. But shun complexity bad when it detract value or raise new problem.

Little grug benefit from not over-simplify. Not everything just good or bad, most thing both, it depend.

if complexity bad, then houses bad, air conditioning bad, roads bad, clothing bad, farming bad, computers bad, ....

simpler to live naked in wood, use big rock hunt food. but grug really like pizza. use computer order pizza, leave tip on app. grug no have to social interact, make grug happy.

manage complexity well and it make good result, worth occasional pain. soon complexity become normal.

it's a good point, well worth considering, but also complexity bad
