That works only until what you can "understand" and "want" changes.
I really like to learn everything about every tech that I use, bordering on obsession, and after a few solid times that I hit roadblocks or had to fight with the tool because it is too "simple", I started to grok the difference of "simple" and "easy".
- wool_gather 8y ago> the difference of "simple" and "easy" Don't know if you were already referring to Rich Hickey's talk on this, but if you weren't, it might appeal to you. Simple Made Easy: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy "Okay, the other critical thing about simple, as we've just described it, right, is if something is interleaved or not, that's sort of an objective thing. You can probably go and look and see. I don't see any connections. I don't see anywhere where this twist was something else, so simple is actually an objective notion. That's also very important in deciding the difference between simple and easy."
