🎼 Compose software like music

Music is an interesting thing -- a beautiful arrangement is composed of very simple constructs -- a handful of simple notes on a relatively simple scale. The brilliance is in how these simple constructs are arranged.

Likewise, brilliant software is composed of simple data structures and interfaces. Just like music, there is no limit to the ways these simple constructs can be arranged.

Conversely, complex constructs are very limited in how they can be used.

Put the complexity in the arrangement, not the constructs.
