I’ve actually been writing a post about just this concept. When I think simple, I think solving the problem in a way that adds value and doesn’t have unnecessary overhead. I think it’s important to highlight the differences between simple, complex, and complicated (like from the Zen of Python). The basic idea is that if possible you want a simple program, but most problems aren’t that’s simple. So the solution needs to be complex with lots of parts. Those parts can and should be simple though. Complicated means adding things that don’t any value. Maybe it’s using containers on a CRUD app that doesn’t need it because it looks good on a resume.
