We explore the idea of programming (and cooking) using less ingredients. Next time you are thinking about adding a new library, or using a new language feature, or adding an extra build step, stop yourself and ask for a second - will this actually add a LOT of value? Because if have a habit adding things because they add SOME value, you will end up with a lot of complexity.
