I don't know, lately I've been thinking maybe there are plenty of eyeballs and there's just too much code. Do things really need to be as big and complicated as they are?

"Move fast and break things" induces bad code. Pascal's quip that "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter" applies to code too; it takes time and effort to make code as concise as possible.
