    Most business and enterprise applications are technically trivial in nature and seeing as how most applications are business and enterprise, most applications are thus trivial by nature as well. Commented Apr 2, 2012 at 11:22

    @maple_shaft - the tecnology may be trivial, but the business rules are not. Try and build an app for 5 managers all who have different requirements and refuse to listen to some BS about your simplictic, elegant, less-is-more, minimalism design. Commented Apr 2, 2012 at 12:06

    @JeffO 1) It isn't BS. 2) An elegant minimalist design requires good software development skills. 3) The ability to mitigate the requirements from 5 different managers who don't have more than 5 minutes a week to waste with you and still pull off a minimalist design requires an excellent software developer. Pro Tip: Software development is more than just coding skills, it is negotiation, conversation and taking ownership. You gotta be Alpha dog and bite back sometimes. Commented Apr 2, 2012 at 12:15
