A tribute to Function over Form

November 20, 2008 under curios

And the end of the road for the Yugo.

A man drives into a mechanic’s and says, “I’d like a new mirror for my Yugo”.

The mechanic looks at the man, looks at the car, “How many miles on it? I’m sure we can reach a deal.”

Make it simple. Make it cheap. Make it work for a definition of work that is good enough. These are virtues, sometimes misapplied virtues, but virtues nonetheless.

In a world of ballooning complexity sometimes I miss the quick and dirty answer.
