FYI that quote is from Antoine de Saint-Exupry, author (and pilot) famous for "The Little Prince".

  Do you know what the context of that quote is? I have used it as a sort of mantra specifically when programming, but I'm guessing it probably was intended for writing.

    https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint_Exup%C3%A9ry https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Antoine_de_Saint_Exup%C3%A9ry has the preceding paragraphs. It’s about the design of airplanes.

    I don't, but it seems like it would find good use in both writing and aviation.

  I learned this as a rule for all Art. Does this mean programming is an Art? (just joking; I know that it Can be).
