Why do we keep gravitating toward complexity?

news.ycombinator.com Kyrylo Silin 2025-09-24 17:02:31

The Great Pyramids took decades to build. It was a monumental feat of human ingenuity and collaboration. Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code. Yet despite far more advanced tools, these systems don’t always make the experience better. So why, when KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a well-known mantra, do we keep gravitating toward complexity? Marketing > Simplicity Sell me this pen: ✎ What? You don’t know how?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-25 06:26:42

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is making support for its Themed Icons feature mandatory by automatically generating themed icons for apps that don’t already provide one. This change addresses inconsistent home screens, as many developers currently opt out of providing a themed icon for branding or design reasons.

Behind Kamathipura's Closed Doors

On the rickshaw, in the evening rush hour. An elderly driver, hands on the steering wheel, khaki shirt, marking his station. His neck hesitantly swivels, as if to say something: they have arrived at their destination. An alien territory in the white-washed city. Coquettish beckonings are lined up on fractured doors as street lamps in the narrow alleys. Collapsing buildings constrict ventilation and light. A landlord’s greed is made manifest: two-storeyed houses buried beneath off-balanced extens

Balatro's big 2025 update won't be coming out this year after all

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-27 13:35:12

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the hotly-anticipated Balatro 1.1 update. Developer LocalThunk just announced it will not be coming out in 2025, despite previously promising a release this year. Instead, it'll come out "when it's done." It's worth remembering that Balatro was created by a single person, and the same goes for this update. The lone developer also made the original balance patch and the well-regarded mobile port.
