Here comes the quote of the day from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry who is best remembered for his novella The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince):
Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I like this saying because it emphasizes that simple and effective approaches should be sought to design and build anything (eg. software producsts in my profession) elegant.
