It's crucial to understand that simplicity is not synonymous with ease. While "easy" might mean something is approachable or within reach, "simple" stands in contrast to complexity—it’s about reducing intertwinement and achieving clarity. </p><p>Simple ! = easy</p><p>🔍 What Matters in Software:<br>- Reliability: Can we count on the software to do what it's supposed to do?<br>- Quality: Is the software of high quality and maintainable?<br>- Flexibility: Can we adapt to changes over time?</p><p>🔍 The Benefits of Simplicity:<br>- Ease of Understanding<br>- Ease of Change<br>- Ease of Debugging<br>- Flexibility</p><p>🔍 How to Build Simple Systems:<br>- Abstract: Design by asking the essential questions—what, who, when, where, why, and how.<br>- Choose Wisely: Opt for constructs that generate simple artifacts.<br>- Encapsulate: Simplify by encapsulation.</p>
