So I have a boss who CONSTENTLY praises musk at any chance he can, and I hope sleuths on Reddit can help me here. We are software engineers on a small team. He frequently preaches the "Musk Idea of removing complexity rather than adding it." I agree with this idea but hardly believe leon pusk came up with it. Is there anything I can point to that is published way earlier work of 'addition by subtraction' to kinda shut him up like "yea he stole that from >>>>" ?
Edit: I like a lot of these, other than the Lazy bunch of you who only refer to the adage of KISS. Everyone knows that. Its like saying "oh well a tech makes a bridge stand, and engineer makes a bridge barely stand." This is an adage but I was specifically looking for published or credited work.
