Simplicity

I’ve read this Appcanary blog post a few times. While I’ve never tried to learn Clojure, what I have noticed over the years is simplicity can be an “equal and opposite” religion just like complexity. We all have examples of overly complex infrastructure and techniques (J2EE is one example). I think it’s possible, but not guaranteed, that Kubernetes will suffer similar problems to J2EE. In any case, the desire to pursue simplicity aggressively can backfire and just push complexity out of one problem space and into voids between problem spaces. A balance of simplicity and complexity is the thing!
