> I think simplicity is undervalued in the programmer world in general.

I imagine every programmer will claim to value simplicity. Trouble is, they're all talking past each other because their working definition is "the way I personally do things".

maybe, except that I try to improve how I do things on every iteration.

i've been finding that it helps me to think about these things in a more concrete manner, so that i can vocalize to myself what I didn't enjoy in the recent experiences.

I found Rich Hickey's dissection of simplicity to be dynamite as usual: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

spot on. his way of putting it that simplicity is objective and ease subjective really nails it. most people say simple and mean easy.

this was a great watch. thanks for that.

It helped me focus a lot of things I have been feeling innately for a while.
