Why simple systems survive longer
Simple systems tend to last because they're easier to maintain, explain, test, and recover. Complexity can create short-term speed, but simplicity builds long-term trust.
- When a system grows, break it into smaller chunks (modules/services) so changes stay local and safer.
- Give each chunk a single purpose and clear boundaries, so it can be understood and evolved independently. (Not "isolated forever" - just intentionally scoped.)
- Keeping chunks small and maintainable is one of the most reliable strategies in system design - not a universal law, but a principle that keeps paying rent.
Keep it small. Keep it clear. Keep it alive.
