Notes on  AIRPLANE RULE 


"Complexity increases the possibility of failure; a twin-engine
airplane has twice as many engine problems as a single-engine
airplane." By analogy, in both software and electronics, the rule
that simplicity increases robustness. It is correspondingly argued
that the right way to build reliable systems is to put all your eggs
in one basket, after making sure that you've built a really good
basket. See also KISS PRINCIPLE, ELEGANT.
