Very rarely do you make a product, system, or process better solely by making it more complicated. That ordinarily makes things worse. Less is more. Brevity is beauty. Simplicity is saintly. The more moving parts you incorporate into a product or process, the greater the likelihood of a breakdown. But wait…..there’s more! Once this Frankensteinish monstrosity does break down, you then find yourself faced with substantially greater difficulty in fixing the damned, uber-complicated, over-engineered thing than had it been properly crafted and sensibly engineered in the first place. In other words, showboaty complexity bites you in the ass every time and you lose all the way around.
