I'm so happy to see this post. One of my professors back in college mentioned that "just" was a "four letter word" (akin to a cuss word) and that's stuck with me since.

"How long should this take? It's JUST calling an API."

"Why did it take so long to fix that bug? It was JUST a one line change."

"Stripe handles payment stuff, we JUST need to add it in!"

What a devious little word. It just papers over all the complexity!
