*No gain, no pain.*
Technological minimalism is a philosophy of designing [technology](technology.md) to be as simple as possible while still achieving given goal, possibly even a little bit simpler. Minimalism is one of the most (if not the most) important concepts in [programming](programming.md) and technology in general. Remember, minimalism is firstly about **internal simplicity**, i.e. the simplicity of design/repairing/[hacking](hacking.md), and only secondly about the simplicity from the user's point of view (otherwise we are only dealing with [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md)).
