It's saying you don't need to be proud of your app that has multiple layers of abstractions to be immune to every possible change. There are hard problems, but the most complex solution is rarely good or best.

I think when you first start out as a programmer you’re impressed by complexity and complex solutions

But once you’re more experienced you realize complexity is arbitrary and anyone can make things more complex

I'd argue that's a poor way to say that, because "managing" complexity tends to mean "taming" or dealing with complexity in a good way.
