Software that doesn't have changing requirements is eventually trivial. You can logic your way to a reasonable solution eventually. Building an app that constantly evolves is never trivial.

Software without changing requirements is absolutely not eventually trivial, unless ‘eventually’ is a nice word to mask all of the required project complexity.

The Mars Rover has specific requirements, is this more trivial than a startups new web-app?
