As true today as in 1980

“I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design:

One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.  The first method is far more difficult.”

—  C. A. R. Hoare

From: “The Emperor’s Old Clothes” ACM Turing Award Lecture, 1980.
