simplicity sustainable, humane, and effective software development

This book explores how to bring clarity and simplicity to the inherently complex world of software development. Rather than offering rigid rules or methodologies, it presents 29 practical, personal strategies to help developers streamline their work, reduce complexity, and focus on what truly matters. The emphasis is on improving individual effectiveness—cutting bloat, communicating efficiently, planning for uncertainty, and writing cleaner, more intuitive code. Simplicity here is not about being simplistic, but about embracing clarity, minimizing distractions, and creating software that’s easier to understand and evolve.
