At the heart of well written code is a principle that's often overlooked: simplicity. Simple code is easier to understand, test, debug, and maintain. This post explores the importance of code simplicity, the risks of over-engineering, and how to make better decisions around when to build in-house and when to depend on external tools.
Software libraries provide experienced developers with the flexibility to choose components that best align with their architectural vision and specific use cases. This modular approach empowers teams to build tailored solutions, often encouraging greater creativity and craftsmanship. When used effectively, libraries can foster cleaner, more maintainable code and lead to development environments where engineers are more engaged and productive.
