  1. Ah yes, let's casually "fork the web" as if it's a backyard barbecue 🍖—because rewriting the entire internet sounds like a weekend DIY project. 🙄 With 18.3 MiB of "simplicity" to start, who knew web development was as easy as assembling #IKEA furniture? 🛠️

  2. I found Ketut, someone who didn't teach tourists.

    His backyard practice overlooked rice paddies. He moved like water. "Yoga not special thing. Is how you live."

    Who has taught you about practice in unexpected ways?

  7. Sometimes I just want simplicity... so I turned to simple - very simple - sketches with only 3 markers on the couch... this time inspired by a comment on Reddit. An unexpected love for onions.

    This is for you onion enjoyers!

    Well said. Esp. when things are HARD, like the wicked problems that ail our world, #ClimateChange for instance. Everyone should contribute their fair share, right? Give just their 2 cents?

    #Emergence deals with radical #Simplicity. But simple ain't easy.

    Wicked problems require wicked solutions. Numerous tiny #solution increments made all over the place by different people. It requires 'thinking at scale' for prolonged times, and 'doing' on the basis of that. In terms of planning for that 'Bigger Ideas' need time to mature and ripen, and this too involves many people. And is emergent and evolutionary in nature too! This great animation on "Where good ideas come from" calls this the 'Slow Hunch"..

    #SX's slow hunch took 11 years.

    There's another great vid by Rich HIckey, creator of #Clojure, besides "Hammock Driven Development" mentioned in the article, titled "Simple made Easy" given at a #StrangeLoop conference..

  11. Ah, yes, behold the earth-shattering innovation: a terminal log file viewer that *gasp* views log files! 🤯 Why bother with #simplicity when you can have a command-line tool that does what any decent #sysadmin could do in their sleep? 🙄 Just point and click, and it’ll magically do the stuff you already knew how to do. 📈🎉

  12. Software developer Matheus Lima writes about how simplicity in software designs often gets trumped by over-engineered designs. He concludes from his experience that currently promotion criteria is mostly skewed towards rewarding complexity.

    He goes on to propose courses of action that could change this for both engineers and engineering leaders. Simplicity needs to be made visible.

  13. "Choose velocity over certainty." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Now is not the time to slow down.

    Here's why - all things I've written about before.

    The Indecision Tax: Many leaders lose their edge during change, not because they made "bad" choices, but because they waited too long to make any choice at all. Indecision is a tax that drains your competitive advantage while others move ahead.

    Inaction is a Decision: When things get volatile, many people freeze and hope for more information. What if there is none? You must realize that standing still is actually a choice. And in a fast-moving world, it is almost always the most expensive risk you can take.

    Move Beyond "Pilot Purgatory": Organizations often get stuck in a loop of small, safe tests. Survival requires the speed to move instantly from a small experiment to a massive rollout before the window of opportunity closes.

    Strategic Humility Over Pride: To move fast, you must trade the pride of "knowing everything" for the speed of learning new things. What worked yesterday is often a heavy anchor that holds you back from tomorrow's solutions.

    Radical Subtraction for Speed: To increase velocity, focus on removing complexity rather than adding more process. Layers of approval and bureaucracy are the primary enemies of speed; you must lean out to accelerate.

    Developing Anticipatory Intelligence: The most valuable commodity in a fast world is time. By seeing trends early, you gain a head start to act with velocity before the rest of the market falls into a panic.

    The Velocity of Reinvention: Your goal isn't to build a fortress that resists change, but a culture that constantly reinvents itself. Resilience is found in the speed of your transformation, not the strength of your defenses.

    Actionable Clarity: Dream, Prove, Win: Innovation follows a simple rhythm: think big enough to dream, start small enough to prove it works, and move fast enough to win. This keeps you moving even when the long-term view is blurry.

    The "OODA Loop" on Steroids: Winners are those who observe and act the fastest. By collapsing the time between a decision and an act, you brute-force your way to the right answer through rapid real-world testing.

    Escape Velocity: To launch a new idea, you must apply overwhelming force to overcome the pull of "how we've always done it." If you don't pick up the pace, the gravity of the past will eventually pull you down.

    Stop waiting for clarity that won't come.

    Get moving.

  14. We gathered in silence today.

    No devices.
    No rush.
    Just time.

    May we remember that the soul needs it.

    #Quakers #Simplicity #SilentSunday

    Vi samledes i stilhed i dag.

    Ingen apparater.
    Ingen hast.
    Kun tid.

    Må vi huske, at sjælen har brug for den.

    #Kvækere #Enkelhed #Norden

    Vi samlet oss i stillhet i dag.

    Ingen teknologi.
    Ingen hast.
    Bare tid.

    Må vi huske at sjelen trenger det.

    These testimonies shape how we move through the world.

    Vad innebär det att leva på kväkarvis?

  17. Those are called new problems. #Simplicity does not break. The solution of a #sovereign housing #endowment becoming a permanent asset using the perpetual money making machine called the stock market is the most elegant and efficient answer to end homelessness that has ever been given amongst people.

  18. My spiritual path isn't about ascending anymore.

    It's about descending into ordinary life. Drinking coffee slowly. Sitting with difficult emotions. Being kind to the checkout clerk when I'm tired.

  23. There is a quiet kind of technical excellence that looks like “nothing happened.”

    No incident. No fire drill. No heroic debugging session.
    Just clear boundaries, boring interfaces, and a refusal to let the system become clever in the wrong places.

    Heroics feel productive.
    Routine is what scales.

  26. The most reliable feature in any system is the one you never had to ship.

    Every line of code carries long-term cost.
    Every option added becomes something that must be supported, explained, and debugged.

    Absence is an underrated optimization.

  33. 🔧🤖 Oh, look! Another brave soul attempting to reinvent the wheel with a "code-only" #agent, as if combining "simplicity" and "agents" in the same sentence isn't a laughable #oxymoron. Because clearly, a #minimalist agent with one tool is all you need to achieve world domination—if by world, you mean your grandma's #kitchen #gadgets. 🍳🙄
