Path to Perfection

Filed under: Programming, Ideas, Design — AjitK @ 6:28 pm

As the writer, adventurer, artist, and aeronautical engineer Antoine de Saint-Exupry once put it, writing about the design of airplanes:

La perfection est atteinte non quand il ne reste rien ajouter, mais quand il ne reste rien enlever.

It means: “Perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove”.

Taken from ESR’s writing available here.
