Ask HN: When has a "dumb" solution beaten a sophisticated one for you?

Recently built something where simple domain-specific heuristics crushed a fancy ML approach I assumed would win. This has me thinking about how often we reach for complex tools when simpler ones would work better. Occam&#x27;s razor moments.<p>Anyone have similar stories? Curious about cases where knowing your domain beat throwing compute at the problem.
