Show Notes"A lot of people go to conferences and they do conference-driven development. They come back with all these great ideas. And you know what? I'm guilty. I speak at conferences and I give lots of ideas. But they're ideas and you don't have to take every idea and apply it when you get back to the office."— Chris Woodruff
Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem.
Today, we're joined by Chris Woodruff to talk simplicity, which is his overarching philosophy when it comes to working with code; whether that's developing, architecting, or interacting with decision makers: simplicity matters.
"Simplicity also reflects in cost. Because I've found all these studies that say that most companies that start putting solutions out on the cloud pay a lot more than they should."— Chris Woodruff
Along the way, we talked about how simplicity goes further than the code we write and into how we choose to host our applications, either in the cloud or on prem. Arguably, most of the time, an application which has a simpler architecture will be cheaper to host.
