great quote:
> the problems we face with software are rarely technical. The problem is always the people creating accidental complexity and pushing it to the next person as if it was "essential" Until a level of absolutely massive scale, modern tooling and code and systems reasonably built can handle most things technically, so it usually comes down to minimizing complexity as the #1 thing you can do to optimize development. And that could be - code design complexity
- design complexity
- product complexity
- communication complexity
- org complexity And sometimes minimizing these ARE mutually exclusive (most times not, and in an ideal world never… but humans...) which is why much of our job is to all push back and trade off against complexity in order to minimize it. With the understanding that there are pieces of complexity so inherent in a person/company/code/whatever’s processes that in the short term you learn to work around/with it in order to move forward at all, but hopefully in the long term make strategic decisions along the way to phase it out |
