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

This isn’t really a criticism per se, but really it’s more coming from a place of experience because I’ve been the one that said all of these things at one point or another

When new clients trying to haggle with me called, this was the #1. “We just need one photograph” I was actually pretty good at educating them as to how much work goes into getting *the one*

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.

Yeah that’s a good point, it’s a minimization (whether conscious or unconscious) of the effort involved I think usually the person knows deep down that they’re underestimating the effort, but hope the “just” makes it sound more acceptable

Ex-coworker (older guy) tells the story of when he was working for an elevator manufacturer. One day the CEO calls him in saying he wants to start making railroad cars. The ex-coworker says something along the lines of “those are vastly different products” and the CEO dismisses his point by saying “one goes this way” (motions up and down) “and one goes this way” (motions side to side)
