Why Clever Code is a Hidden Trap

Building the most clever solution you can is often incredibly risky. Clever code tends to come with hidden complexities and, inevitably, issues. When that happens, fixing things requires even more cleverness, often putting you in a difficult spot.

This is especially true with AI, where you might not fully understand how the underlying model works or why it makes certain decisions. With code that’s too clever, the risk of encountering a problem you can’t untangle skyrockets.

As tempting as it may be, remember: simplicity is often the smartest path forward.
