I don't follow. I've made simple things many times without having to make a complex thing first.
That would make you a genius, so congrats :-) It's more likely that you thought it was simple, but it actually wasn't. Was it actually the least-complex thing that works? Or was it just a thing that worked, and it didn't seem complex? Because those are two different things.
