“The future masters of technology will have to be light-hearted and intelligent. The machine easily masters the grim and the dumb.'' — Marshall McLuhan
“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” — Edsger W. Dijkstra
Bryan Liles says it clearly as well:
Simple solutions are easier to implement and scale than complex solutions. However promotions often are rewarded to those who create complex solutions. We need to start acknowledging the power of simple. Don’t accept complex. It’s a trap.
