Military Spending

"Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
-Dwight Eisenhower

Growing up - Joys in simplicity

So I've finally realized that having something really cool is, of course... really cool. But, at the cost of simplicity, sometimes aren't worth the sacrifice. Today I was debating features vs cost of implementation and maintenance, asking myself "is it really worth it".

I hope that I will always, and forever, never skip out on the cool feature just because it's more work. Unfortunately, when it's not your time you're spending, but someone else's cutting corners happens. Building simple but extremely cool apps, is the best thing I've found. The most complicated and sophisticated solution doesn't always beat the simple one - there is joy in simplicity!
