Agree with minimalism. The older I get, the more I value mastery of few things over a superficial grasp of many. In some cases, this can feel a bit regressive.

Agree with minimalism. The older I get, the more I value mastery of few things over a superficial grasp of many. In some cases, this can feel a bit regressive. Stepping back to a bone-head simple pattern with fewer moving parts and less dependencies on complicated "others" I cannot see. Part of why I hate WordPress with a passion. It's complex mess of plugins and themes, slapped together without the tight moderation and insistence on good style that we see in a place like the Python standard library.
