I AM NOT ROBOT

Software Complexity

Something fellow engineers and developers can relate to is the issue of the perception of complexity in software. Matt Gemmell wrote an interesting little piece on the subject a while back that I refer to ever so often when I find myself in the “Zone of Despair”.

 ”You have a task which starts off seeming simple, then upon further thought and exploration it becomes considerably more complex (with several nebulous unanswered questions). Then, upon still further examination, it becomes clear that the level of refinement of thought has lead to discovering once again that the problem is simpler than it seemed to be.”
