I hate complexity. A few years ago, I wanted to add some feature to some personal code of mine. But I just couldn’t figure out how to do that without rewriting a significant portion of it to allow for that. There was another feature (let’s call it feature 2) that just added so much complexity to the code that made things hard. I had an absolute stroke of genius: Just delete feature 2. This probably sounds stupid but I felt like a goddamn genius. Just deleting something solved all my problems.
