Complexity Is Easy. Simplicity Takes Work.

Adding code feels productive.
Removing it feels risky.

But complexity grows naturally.
Simplicity has to be defended.

Great engineers fight entropy by:
deleting aggressively
questioning assumptions
refusing unnecessary features

Simple systems don’t happen by accident.

Simplicity is an ongoing decision.
