More tools, more alerts, more noise — past a point, complexity itself becomes the vulnerability.
Engineering Principle 06 · Optimize
The principle, in practice
Past a point, every added tool and alert becomes its own liability — cost, noise, and one more thing to fail. We tune for signal over noise and make every layer earn its place, so the layered system gets simpler and clearer as it matures. Less to manage means less to go wrong.
A simpler system is easier to evolve.
