Simplicity is a shape that composes or has symmetry in that dimension. The greatest act of simplification I did was reduce the problem from a continuous one, some one wanted to filter on distance and I moved it to a set of three buckets. This discounts all the things argued out of existence or replaced with a sql query. Which reminds me, the longer you can keep something relational the larger your chance at reducing complexity, because you can project down to a lower dimensional space to solve specific problems. 80% of work is in choosing that right lower space and making the projection. Once there, all problems are flat.
