This is so very much how I feel too. The programs themselves really should be simple, boring pieces of code. The interesting stuff is in how to use them or how they work with other things to produce emergent capabilities.
one extremely distinctive thing about how i personally write @rustlang is that i genuinely believe that nearly every program can be simple/boring assuming you invest enough time in thinking about it upfront
