Overview

Sometimes one insight eliminates 10 things. Look for the unifying principle that makes multiple components unnecessary.

Core principle: "Everything is a special case of..." collapses complexity dramatically.

Symptom	Likely Cascade
Same thing implemented 5+ ways	Abstract the common pattern
Growing special case list	Find the general case
Complex rules with exceptions	Find the rule that has no exceptions
Excessive config options	Find defaults that work for 95%
