Try Zero

Software can be expensive to produce and even more costly to maintain. The first step to productivity in software development is to decide what not to build. Turn back now. Don’t build any software that you don’t need. Do not build software that you are not passionate about, if at all possible. Because you are reading this text, we assume that you are disregarding the admonition not to build software and have decided to build some. Still, build less. Reduce the scope. Don’t build that feature. Say no. Don’t create that new tool. Don’t introduce that new dependency. Don’t add another step in the process. Don’t create another repository.

If it isn’t absolutely necessary, don’t to it.

Zero is the best number.
