A lot of discoveries are like that. In fact, simplicity is often the hallmark of correctness, and complexity is often a sign that our understanding is incomplete and we’re still stumbling towards the right model. Not always, but often. It’s been a good rule of thumb in my programming career.

100%. I have a guiding approach when solving problems: keep reframing and exploring until the solution becomes obvious.

I often find, if I've got a complicated solution, it’s because I haven’t fully examined the problem.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
