To achieve more you shall do more.
Usual truth thing in daily life.
Not so true for programming.
It actually
'do less to achieve more'.
Because it's non-linear in programming. Because each line of code you add
to the system is increasing it complexity accordingly. And that means more
effort for future maintenance for you, or for some other unsuspecting
victim.
So, that's why i always look how to do less, reduce the amount of code, to
achieve something. But not just plainly implement yet another feature, so
its done.
Nice!
I'll add one, inspired by orbital mechanics and unlocking car doors in the rain.
To go faster, slow down.
A slightly slower, more deliberate pace will yield greater results than rushing headlong into something.
