There is definitely a “smartness” scale if only because things have different demands on attention, perception, and short term memory.

I am not smart enough to effectively code with certain languages and design patterns and that’s ok. There is nothing wrong with accessibility being prioritized or with making tradeoffs for the sake of reducing complexity.
