Did several domain experts tell you this or are you making it up?

Perhaps "they are massively more complex than anything I've done"

It's an assertion among eight other engineers on the project with ~15 years of experience in the domain. They are domain experts. This part isn't up for debate.

I'm not questioning the credentials of your coworkers - I didn't know they existed!

Just so I'm clear then, because this adds a lot of context: Nobody else worked on the 2 softwares you mentioned, but you are on a team? Are the softwares part of a business, one that's making money?

		I misinterpreted your intent. Sorry. My key takeaway from my initial comment, based on replies, is how rare it is for someone to build software for money on this forum. Correct, they didn't directly work on these features. These integrate into a larger pieces of software, both of which directly generate revenue from these features.
