@JeffGrigg @tankgrrl That makes me realize that there are two groups of people who yearn to make a hard job simple:
- Engineers, especially software engineers, who spend a lot of effort in finding a *provably working* way to simplify said job, and possibly ending up proving that it *cannot* be simplified;
- Capitalists, especially the late stage ones, who spend a lot of effort finding money to throw at making that job cheaper.
One of these groups' approach is based on sound reasoning.
