Principles of simplicity

Go Time: Golang, Software Engineering

NOTE

Simplicity Springs from Understanding

Effective design and implementation in software development hinge on the deep understanding of the core problem being addressed. Engaging both designers and builders fosters a collaborative environment that can lead to more streamlined solutions. The importance lies in avoiding non-essential complexity and focusing on the simplicity of design, which can dictate the overall simplicity of the finished software. A thorough requirements gathering process, centered on understanding who is involved and their objectives, aids in distinguishing between what is essential and what is accidental within the project. Leveraging existing frameworks and learning from others' designs can simplify the development process, emphasizing the need to document hypotheses and separate concepts to refine understanding and approach.
