description	Simplicity lens for software decisions. Use when planning, refactoring, or building new features to keep complexity in check.

Use the following rules as a decision lens for software development:

• Treat complexity as a main threat.
• Simplicity is the ultimate expression of sophistication.
• Favour designs that are easy to understand and maintain.
• Don't create abstractions before you need them. Only consider them when the code repeats at least three times.
• Keep logic under one function unless it's too complex.
• If you have to jump through multiple layers of abstraction or definitions, it's a sign that the code is too complex and needs to be simplified.
