Clever vs. Insightful Code
A paraphrased translation from Lieutenant General Aksel Frederik Airo from Finland:<p><pre><code>  You need to go to shit-ton of schools to be able to make simple decisions. Otherwise you&#x27;ll start to invent all kinds of over-complicated solutions. 

  Everything in war is simple. The guy in the front lines is the one at war. You can&#x27;t win in a war unless you give simple orders. The people on top need to be able to give commands that are so simple that even the man in the front lines understands.

  Everything is as simple as possible. To understand that, you need to go study a lot.
</code></pre>
It&#x27;s not easy to do things the simple way, being clever is the easy path. Knowing when you need to be clever and when simple is enough is what separates experience from greenhorns.
