Simplicity Wins - Less is More

[Rafa Páez]

Great article! Short and to the point.

The power of Simplicity.

This applies not only to Software Engineering but to mostly anything in life.

I used to write very complex, long text. Decided to write shorter, simpler text. Now everybody can understand it. More are enjoying it.

Less is More.

I like the example with writing. the easier it is to understand, the better.

It’s a favour to our readers to keep it simple.

Thanks, Rafa for your kind words! I appreciate it.

Simplicity wins every time.

But explaining complex concepts in simple terms without dumbing your explanation is a skill that needs to be cultivated.

Writing is an excellent way to practice this skill, and it is oftentimes overlooked in the engineering world.

This is not easy, and needs to be practised, exactly as you put it.

Thanks for adding your perspective, Alberto!

I love the concept of being clear and simple.

Most people respond to it better than having something complicated.

Unless it's a non-fiction book. Then people usually value length over expertise.

Thanks for the mention Michał :)

Well-deserved mention.

Thanks for your perspective, Orel!
