Comment on Do the simplest thing that can possibly work (2004)parent

As long as the abstraction layer works well for you without getting too much into the details of the implementation, it's a simple solution.

You can have very large number of layers, and to understand inner goings and interconnetions of all becomes very hard.

I highly doubt you can equalize "set of superb interfaces" with simplicity.

You're totally right. Just watch the video, I can't compete with Rick Hickey. I just rewatched it and would probably modify what I wrote, but the main point is: it's better to not write a summarizing article or comment when that video is so great, so I won't try to write something smarter (rather try to apply the things he said in the video).
