Understanding this quote
The quote presents simplicity as an ongoing discipline in design, not a final touch. “Drive for simplicity” means continually removing unnecessary complications and keeping the result clear. Otherwise, complexity can gradually take over and make the design harder to understand, use, or manage. The word “nail” gives that warning a forceful, memorable edge.
