> Beginners reach for the most straightforward tools. Their work is awkward, but every mistake serves a purpose. Then they learn "good practices" and abide by them. This path leads them astray, but it’s necessary for growth. With time, they regain their beginner’s mind. Conventions fade. Their work becomes simple and purposeful again. This time, it’s also elegant.
