Essential vs Accidental Complexity

This may seem to be for you designers and programmers out there. You know who you are. Some are my friends. Some are my enemies. I have enemies?

Simplicity by Eric M. Burke
 

But this not only applies to grogramming and designing; it also applies to life as well. Surely we all have heard of KISS: Keep it simple, Sir! 🙂

It is problem solving. If you can point straight to your nose and say, “This is my nose,” then there is no need to wrap your arm around your head and back and say, “This is my nose.”

But I kind of really like that third design. Don’t you? 😀
