Simplicity is the silver bullet. The longer I work as a developer the more value I see in it. The single biggest mistake I see good but inexperienced developers make is building overly complex & unnecessarily abstracted solutions.
- jimbokun 9y agoExactly, and to elaborate on your point, take a problem that seems complex and difficult to break down, and find the simple pieces that can be tied together to solve the complex problem. To me, that's programming in a nutshell. Or at least what it should be.

- catnaroek 9y agoHow do you measure simplicity?
