Hi,

This article about the Scala programming language does a good job
illustrating the difficult of discovering the “simple” solution to
problems, for instance, how to build “simple” curation micro-services.

Reminds me of a meeting I was in with Laine once, I was noting that a problem we were trying to solve was complicated, and she said "well, make it simple!"

I think that the simpler we make it for the programmers, usually the more complicated it becomes for the end users, and visa versa.
