Core Principle
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

- Add complexity ONLY when proven necessary
- You can always add patterns later
- Removing complexity is MUCH harder than adding it
Validation Checklist
Before finalizing architecture:
- Requirements clearly understood
- Constraints identified
- Each decision has trade-off analysis
- Simpler alternatives considered
- ADRs written for significant decisions
- Team expertise matches chosen patterns
