I definitely embrace simplicity. One of the hallmarks of folks like us
(INTJ's and INTP's on the MBTI scale) is over engineering "just
because".
My yardstick is:
unzip -a cryptopp.zip
cd cryptopp
make
sudo make install
If a user can't bootstrap that easily, then we have failed.
A perfect example of over engineering a losing sight of core goals is
Git. It can do everything except make coffee and pizza, yet it can't
tell the remote copy and local copy of the same exact file are exactly
the same (moved around among machines with 'scp' for testing).
