There is an interview with the great jazz pianist Bill Evans (conducted by his brother) in which he muses that most amateur musicians make the mistake of overplaying. They go out to the club and hear a professional and they come home and try to approximate what the professional does. What they end up with is a confused mess with no foundation. He insists that you have to learn to be satisfied with doing the simple things and gradually building up a stronger foundation.

I think his insight applies nearly as well to using code generated by an ai.
