Imagine you’ve sunk so deep into every new tool, trend, and “just-in-case” feature that writing code feels like running a gauntlet. In his NDC Porto keynote, Gui Ferreira argues we’ve made software development exhausting by overcomplicating things with our own hubris and FOMO.
Instead, he invites us to make simplicity our superpower—clear, focused, and built to last. It takes more than wishful thinking; you need discipline, creativity, and the guts to subtract the noise. Focus on what truly matters, ditch what doesn’t, and master the rest—because the next big leap in software isn’t a new AI or framework, it’s how smartly you choose to use what you’ve got.
