Complexity

The urge to fight complexity is strong in me… though on my way to a simple solution i often wade through quite a bit of self-created muck.

however, for a long-term solution — be it an application you are building, or a process you are trying to implement — you should take the time necessary to seek the simpler solution.

remember, (almost) anyone can build a complex solution and over think the problem. it is far more valuable to provide the more cost-effective solution up front that seeks to simplify and provide a high return on investment.
