I understand pretty well why this didn't work with the government. I'm curious how this worked out at X. I have the impression that not only did he break the system into pieces, he also just threw out many of the pieces. That's a pretty effective form of simplification, but it runs the risk of being too simple in that the system loses some critical functions.

"Simplify my code."

"Ok, all code deleted, what next?"
