See how well he cut cope to keep things simple? "Works on mobile" was simple unnecessary complexity :)

Only half-joking btw. I thought the article was way more about "cut scope ruthlessly so you can use simpler tools" than it was about "use the simplest tool for the job".

FTA:

> what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve simplicity?

I'm willing to sacrifice a website that tries to keep state up to date without requiring a page refresh so that I can avoid all the complexity and bugs which come from it.

Thanks - needs an overflow:hidden in the CSS. Will fix :)

And the fix was probably editing 1 line of code then running `git pull` on the server. If even.

That's simplicity!
