This observation applies to code too. I usually spend most of my time in making short programs that would have been long. This means: cutting off non-essential features (and you can discover that a feature is non essential only after having implemented it) and/or rethinking the problem to a superior level of abstraction (only possible after you have implented the lower level of abstraction).
