I imagine that's part of why different programming languages exist -- IE you have slightly less footguns with Java than with C++.
The problem is, the nature of writing software intrinsically requires a balance of art and science no matter what language it is. That is because solving business problems is a blend of art and science.
It's a noble aim to try and avoid solving unnecessarily hard problems, but when it comes to the customer, a certain amount of it gets incompressible. So you can't avoid it.
