Can you blame them? Last month my colleague (we’re both developers) pointed out how fucking deep we got into the woods of the “What if”s and “What should happen here”s of a feature that looked dead simple on its surface.

I love and hate in equal measure the hubris with which one regards a "simple" problem that turns out to be very difficult. I love it because it usually ends up being productive eventually. I hate it because it's hard to emerge from the rabbit hole once you've committed to it.
