simplicity
I find that it’s in this search for aesthetic satisfaction that so many of the best lessons are found. I’m not talking about ornamentation or bells and whistles. I’m taking about the beauty of the four Cs: Clarity, cohesion, consistency, and conciseness.

One of the many things I learned from @gentry about design is the idea of *informed simplicity*
A great story about simplicity from Akio Morita, the instigator of the Walkman project at Sony:
Engineers had the technology to add the recording function to the Walkman and it would’ve cost only 50 cents to a dollar per unit. Morita decided against it. He wanted the device to have one function, which it performs very well. Walkman should only play
show this and compre to Sublime designs in a funny way
he is a reducer, not a producer.
The easiest thing is the hardest. It is harder to be simple than it is to be complex.
