Indeed, I don't think it's just a developer problem. Making stuff is haard, and the more you do it, the more you understand that.

Maybe it's related to that thing that has mentioned on HN quite often lately, where the incompetent people are unaware of their own incompetence?

I'm not sure that it's Dunning Kruger so much as it is just not knowing at the outset of the project all the pitfalls you'll get into making it.
