Reminds me of Rich Hickey's classic talk "Simple made Easy": https://paulrcook.com/blog/simple-made-easy

Simple and easy are not the same thing.

man, that's a good talk. I've got some decompilecting to do in a few places.

I loled at the beginning, when he talks about (in 2011) how "all I see on hacker News is people talking about how great and awesome all this new stuff is and nobody ever questions it, asks if this stuff is adding more problems". The culture must have shifted in the interim.
