Key Takeaways
”Everybody seems to want to build like this single tool that does like 50 different things, I guess, I think differently about that. I would rather have a tool and have it do one thing really well. It's specifically designed for a purpose. It doesn't have any kind of bloating or anything around it, when you want to use it, you launch it. And there you go. It's kind of weird. Some of these tools have five or six different things they do, and they don't relate at all to one another. It's just, 'Hey, here's some functionality.' I don't know if that's the right philosophy or not, but I tend to think complexity is evil. So I try to avoid it.”– Greg Deckler
