I believe that it’s not for nothing that simplicity is considered more sophisticated. Many, many cycles of refinement.
I worked in a post office once. I once had a customer demand some package delivery option, if I remember correctly. He was adamant that it was “only a few lines of code”, that I was difficult for not obliging, and that anyone in the postal service should make code changes like that on the whims of customers. It felt like I could have more luck explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…
Also “simple”. “It’s a simple feature.”
