Start Simple

…then keep it simple

I like the Zen of Python, particularly the points excerpted by Jack Diederich in his talk, "Stop Writing Classes," at PyCon US 2012:

  • flat is better than nested
  • readability counts
  • if the implementation is hard to explain it's a bad idea
  • if the implementation is easy to explain it may be a good idea
