Notes:Simplicity is difficult to achieve. The design has to work. Avoid
duplicated logic and dead code. If the code is easy to read
by other team members, it is probably simple. One-liners are not
necessarily simple.
Abstractions are not necessarily simple. I follow the advice
of Eric Raymond in the
The Cathedral & The Bazaar: Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than
the other way around.
In writing, simplicity is eliminating filler words. It's a fun
exercise. You'll be surprised out how your writing improves after
this simple exercise.
