Small details can make a task unnecessarily complex.</p> <p>For example, finding a snippet of code hidden among many files inside a large directory structure takes effort. Even if the structure is familiar and well designed, the goal is not to navigate through it opening files until you find the code to edit; the goal is simply to edit the code. Anything beyond that is wasted cognitive effort.</p>
