Less is More, More is Less.

Today I will discuss my thoughts on “Less is More, More is Less.”

Suppose a Developer writes lots of code for sorting an array of numbers; then it is useless because s/he is wasting time reinventing the wheel. See, this Developer is writing more code and wasting more time, which is less efficient. Of course, one should know that the API for sorting an array is already available. Thus More is Less.

Whereas, if a Developer learns or searches on Google to find the solution to a problem, understands the solution found, and then implements it, then s/he is writing less code and saving more time., Less is More.

So, one should always look for open-source tools or free widgets on Google before implementing the same ourselves. This will save our time and money and lead to less Total Cost of Ownership.

I end this article by saying, “Don’t reinvent the wheel.” Writing reusable code and producing such code can be good assets for the IT department of any organisation. Remember to train your employees to keep learning and make it a continuous habit. Look before your jump to a conclusion or implementation. This saves one’s time.
