No one actually wants simplicity

I think a good test of whether you truly love simplicity is whether you are able to remove things you have added, especially code you’ve written, even when it is still providing value, because you realise it is not providing enough value.

...The only path I can see through all this is to cultivate an almost obsessive suspicion of FOMO. I think that’s probably key to learning to say no.
