Three ways to keep software simple: understand requirements deeply and propose simpler solutions before coding, create a detailed implementation plan instead of improvising, and analyze existing processes to simplify workflow before adding new steps.
Let's give some practical examples where you can focus on simplifying. The first one: as an engineer, you get certain requirements for a new functionality. Try to really understand the requirements and propose simpler solutions before starting with implementation. Let's go to the second one: always create a plan before starting with implementation. If you just try to wing it, you will introduce unnecessary complexity. With a good plan, you can avoid that. The next one: there is a certain problem in the software development process. Try to really understand the problem and where it is, and try to simplify the process before introducing additional steps.
