Noise

Everything that wraps around the actual goal is no more than noise that makes it difficult to think. Clarity of thought is lost in a flood of noise. The quietest thought, the most important. It is difficult to hear it under normal conditions, and when you think about which formatting to apply or which style to use, it becomes impossible to hear it.

We might or might not (or even not trying to) think that something is important, while actually it’s garbage, and completely far from the results you want to achieve.

Noise creates complexity. Complexity is our eternal enemy. When your target intention becomes wrapped in a lot of standards, constraints and abstractions, it becomes very hard or even impossible to dig it out.

Solve the problem at hand. Let the rest to be resolved organically. First thought on how to do formatting, naming and other wrapping is the most organic, and surprisingly, the most simple. Left as much space to the actual problem as you can.

With experience you will be able to throw away noise more and more efficient. And if the noise is omitted, you have the full potential of mind to be directed towards the real problems.
