    A while ago, I thought doing things in a clever way was cool. Now, I understand that simple is better than clever. Clever is mostly showing off.

        Can't get to simple without going through the stage of doing clever stuff. 😊

        ... and easy is also rarely a good solution against a simple one (this is one of the oldest advice in the domain of functional & type programming)

        sometimes, simplicity is the most clever idea.

        Simple is the real clever. Anyone can make things complex which no one can understand. Simpler things can be understood by everyone, but everyone can't make things simpler. 🙏

        I had to try all sorts of "clever" solutions until I was experienced enough to realize what "simple" even is. "Clever" is what I can *do* now. "Simple" is what I can *understand* now AND the future... Plus, what *other* folks can understand now & in the future.

        No matter what you do, whether it’s in school, work or even in your free time, remember to always keep it simple. This is how you’ll definitely differentiate yourself from the rest in a positive way.

        Isn’t clever synonymous with being simple? All I read from this is that you needlessly over complicated things in the past

        Pure wisdom. But too much people is easily impressed with cleverness.

        This is a simple statement. The other clever statements will catch all the likes, which proves that too many people are attracted by cleverness instead of simplicity. It flatters them that they were able to understand it.
