Clive Sinclair. (ZX81 etc)
He made his enginners remove components from a device until it 'just' worked.
Then it was put into production.
The reduced component count helped the cost but left very little room for
component tolerance or error.
We used some of his products as examples of 'how not to make reliable products'
in a Masters class I took some 20 years ago.

Ubuntu & 'apt-get' are not the answer to Life, The Universe & Everything which
is of course, "42" or is it 1.618?

Antoine de Saint-Exupery said pretty much the same thing in a more elegant way:
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to
add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
