Constraints can be both helpful and unforgiving.
If you build something mathematical and you constrain yourself to…
y = mx + b
…then don’t come crying to me when you want to have some curve and you can only make a straight line.
Alternately, it is constraint when you’re in this very strong steel shark cage and you have talking sharks swimming around you complaining, “dammit, we can’t get you!”
A constraint is a choice, and choice is the death of all other possibilities.
