> Most people work on crud apps or similar

CRUD apps are the ones that become more complex, not less. The idea that a "CRUD app" is the poster child of simplicity is mega-misleading.

Building a ERP or similar will eat you alive in forms that making a total OS from scratch with all the features and more of linux not. (Probably the only part that is hard as "crud apps" is the drivers, and that is because you see what kind of madness is interface with others code)





I didn't mention the word complex nor imply it. Complexity of an application and scale aren't the same thing.
