I don’t know. This certainly isn’t provable. What’s the difference between a something being intrinsically difficult and something for which adequate UI just hasn’t been figured out yet?

I don’t know anything that hasn’t been made simpler and easier over time.

Some things have inherent complexity. Different formulations or UX can alleviate some of this complexity, but often it is shifted around, or hidden - not actually solved.

Some solutions can definitely make a situation net-worse/net-more-complex, and occasionally we get advances in theory which can change the watermark on complexity, but it never _goes away_.

Ever implemented a cyclic linked list or graph in Rust?
