Simplicity in Code

The best code is not the cleverest code. It is the code that clearly expresses its intent.

When we write software, we are not just instructing machines—we are communicating with future humans, including our future selves.

Choose clarity over cleverness. Choose understanding over optimization. Choose maintainability over performance, until performance becomes necessary.

The path of the zen programmer is to write code that feels inevitable, as if it could not have been written any other way.
