A study in simplicity After René Magritte

This is not
a complicated
thing.

The request was one apple. Somewhere along the way, we built all this. Lift what does not earn its place.

4 steps for one small request. Test what you have built.

KISS · Keep it simple

Less to explain.
Less to go wrong.

Every layer is another thing to understand, maintain, and trust. An abstraction can earn its place. It should have a job before it has a name.

The same idea, in code
const apple = "🍏";
committee.approve(apple);
FruitFactory.create("apple");
futureAdapter.wrap(apple);
deliver(apple);

The Committee. Three approvals for a decision already made.

The Grand Abstraction. A universal fruit framework. For one fruit.

The Future Machine. An adapter for a future nobody asked for.
