"Las cosas simples deberían ser simples, las cosas complejas deberían ser posibles."
— Alan Kay
Simplified Meaning:
People like things to be easy when they should be, and tough things more manageable. Imagine trying to open a door—if it’s straightforward, all you need to do is turn the knob and push. That’s how simple things should work; they shouldn’t confuse you. Now think about building a treehouse. It’s more complicated and takes planning, tools, and effort, but it shouldn't be impossible. You should be able to figure it out if you follow steps and try hard. This idea is useful in many situations, like using technology. A phone should be easy to operate for basic tasks like making calls or sending messages. However, if you want to create a new app, that should be possible too, even though it’s more complicated. The key is to not make simple, everyday things harder than they need to be, and to ensure that even complex tasks can be done if someone puts in the effort and follows a process. This wisdom helps in making life more organized and less frustrating, so try to apply it by keeping routine tasks straightforward, while also not being afraid to tackle bigger projects.
