COMPLEXITY KILLS PROJECTS
Avoid complexity by

AVOIDING COMPLEXITY isn't always the right thing
But it's about balance
COMPLEXITY KILLS PROJECTS
COMPLEXITY KILLS PROJECTS nobody likes a dead project
Great! There's a gem for this
I can bash out out some code
maybe don't think that I can bash out out
some code
try thinking about the problem I can bash
out out some code
try to find the SIMPLE solution I can bash
out out some code
IN THE SHORT TERM nobody cares
IN THE LONG TERM your project depends on it
Thank you Complexity @jcinnamond Bath Ruby 2016
