i think of this lesson often (i don't remember who told me) elon building something at spacex and ruthlessly cutting out pieces they initially thought were needed. less complexity meant cheaper and faster construction so = more tests.
i use this in day to day to life: making plans, buying things, managing others - reducing has led to more accomplished.
