9. “When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. Most people just don’t put in the time or energy to get there.”
Reminds me a bit of a Curtis (of aircraft fame) quote; “Any
part you eliminate can't break.”
He went in the right direction there. Man evolves a product over a long span of time, gradually improving it until it’s elegant.
God, able to look into the far future, sees the end product at the beginning and just makes that one.
