The developers who thrive today are not the ones writing the most complex code - they're the ones who know how to make complexity disappear for the user.
- Modern engineering now demands:
- Clear mental models
- Predictable architecture
- Interfaces that feel natural
- Features that solve one problem extremely well
- Code that’s easy for the next engineer to understand
In 2025, the real mark of a senior developer is the ability to make things simpler, not harder.
Simplicity isn’t a shortcut.
It’s craftsmanship.
