I once worked with a guy who, after looking at a solution provided by our team that not only worked but was fast and efficient, said, “This can’t be any good. You don’t have enough code.”

This way of thinking isn’t restricted to our industry. I see it in other areas as well. People naturally equate complexity with quality and actually have a hard time appreciating the beauty of a well-designed, well-thought out, efficient system. Why that is is beyond me.
