I’m a wary when it’s “just” something because it usually means it’s “just” that:

- it’s just a few lines of code
- it’s just a small change
- it’s just for a few days
- I just need to put it together 
- i just need to do it 
- I just need to do this one last thing before I go to bed

The use of the word “simply” or “just” often downplays the complexity or importance of a task or situation.

Your thought about being wary of what is perceived as “simple” could connect to Heidegger’s philosophy, particularly his idea about “everydayness” and “being.”

Heidegger warns in his work Being and Time that in everyday life we ​​often fall into the oblivion of being, where we accept things without deeply questioning them, trusting in their apparent simplicity.

Similarly, when something is presented as “just” a small task, we may be falling into the trap of superficiality, ignoring the true complexity beneath.
