We always think that simple is not as good as difficult, and only when doing difficult things do we feel we have worked hard.

But is the fact really so?


When I first started coding, I imagined it to be very difficult. I thought all systems would require thousands or tens of thousands of lines of code, and I imagined these codes to be very, very hard. So, when I saw that a feature only required one function, I would tell myself, "The resource you found is wrong; this isn't the correct code." This sounds very laughable, but this is what I have always thought.


People are always like this, believing that only complex and difficult things can reflect a person's effort, while simple things make people feel they are lazy. Of course, I cannot know what others think, but that is exactly what my thoughts were.


So what changed my mind? Can I say that nothing has changed? Now, two thoughts often fight in my head; one says, "Yes, it’s just that simple," and the other says, "No, it should be a bit more complex."
