Next time you write a book, do you think you could devote a chapter on
what is simple? It is badly not understood even by people who are
trying to write good code. When I tell people, ok, now it works.
Now go away and strip out things until this is the simplest and most
elegant piece of code that you can write that works, people look at
me as if I had sprouted an extra head or something.
