What is the name for this phenomenon:

Observation: X is too complex/too time-consuming/too error-prone.

Reaction: Create X' to automate/simplify X.

Later: X' is too complex.

The alternative to this seems even worse. To deal with the overcomplexity we get things like Boot and Webpack, which aren't even really build tools, but tools for building build tools.
