Simplicity and good code is what we seek by practicing the art of programming. It's not meant to be an end. The question of simplicity and good code is not a problem to solve but, rather, something that compels us to reach for more beautiful solutions to different problems — more beautiful than those we already know. Suppose that Leonardo, after having painted "Mona Lisa", had concluded: "This is the most beautiful painting I can draw, therefore I'll just stick to the style and draw slight variations of her from now on because this is the most beautiful painting ever." He might have sought for something more, too.
