"Simple != easy." --Rich Hickey

The closest I get in my career is striving for the simplest approach to building something in software, which is not all the easy path. The easy path always leads to complexity -- just look at any enterprise software project that's more than a year to two old.

I find the process of striving for simplicity gratifying and reading this article about similar -- but much longer process -- put a smile on my face.

The hard part about new simple things is getting people to understand the implications. Most people will shrug off something new and simple as the same as just another new complexity, when the implications are vastly different.
