François Chollet on Twitter: "Being resource-constrained forces you to ship solutions that do less, or do it in a simpler way. Often, these solutions turn out to be more effective than the over-engineered solutions shipped by resource-rich teams. Resource constraints can be a design advantage."

  Engineers don't naturally trend towards simplicity. You have to put them in situations where simplicity is their only option.

  They can also be a disadvantage if you’re hacking off corners to get to a goal. There’s a balance to maintain.

  Au contraire! Being resource-constrained allows you to ship MORE better features, because resource-rich teams spend all their time thinkin about themselves instead what they produce. "Streamlining" is what resource-rich teams do when the backers get tired of waiting.
