Keep it simple, and spend effort to keep it simple, if you want to go fast. [Martin Thompson](https://twitter.com/skglas/status/997728091786170368) * simplification of complex requirements takes longer and requires more abstraction thus is more expensive at the beginning which is contrary to the time factor of business and competition (and awareness of mgmt). I've seen so many quick implementations of some specific special cases that are complex and can be maintained only with much more effort than how it should have been done with separation, modularity etc. :( It is often short term thinking [Sebastian K.
