>There is a long (albeit minority) tradition of thinking this way in computing... It seems close to the Occam's razor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor I like this quote from Chuck Moore (from Forth). "We need dedicated programmers who commit their careers to single applications. Rewriting them over and over until they’re perfect. Such people will never exist. The world is too full of more interesting things to do. The only hope is to abandon complex software. Embrace simple." https://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/chuck-moore-geek-of-the-week/ https://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/chuck-m...
