The Illusion of Complexity

Complex systems fail in complex ways.

When we engineer for scale, we often over-engineer for scenarios that never arrive. The true mark of an elite developer isn't how many abstractions they can juggle, but how many they can completely eliminate.

Simplicity is not a lack of features. It is the ultimate sophistication.

To build the future, you have to be willing to destroy what isn't strictly necessary. The code that remains must be raw, undeniable, and perfect.
