The blog post barely gets into the idea of what simplicity means in programming.

If you have any interest in the topic, I recommend Rich Hickey talk "Simplicity matters" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI8tNMsozo0

My personal favorite is: Living with complexity 2010 by Don Norman (Author of Design of everyday things)
