Process

To come to answers which are more complex then necessary right off the bat is commonplace for me.

Not out of the question I suppose, considering the exposure one gets to generic problems.

Requirements, general description, then ideas.

Always the ideas that is the main attraction. Simpler is always better in most cases. Amazing how a simple objective can have such a complex procedure.

It's not easy to come up with a simple idea that works. Complexity often comes with fragility. But simplicity often comes with lots of brain racking.

There is certain joy in figuring things out. A challenge is always welcomed.

Though coming up with the ideas itself can often be almost a physically painful process, I wouldn't say it is enough to call me a masochist.
