Flattening The Software Complexity Curve - Top Down View

Here’s a top-down view on how I approach software complexity.

The goal is to flatten the complexity curve.

Software complexity curves are more like step curves.
Don't over-implement.
But don't stick to close the necessary curve either.
Anticipate and flatten each step.
All-in-one and "easy first" approaches often end up making the complexity curve exponential.
"Architecture first," where we compose smaller parts together, tends to create a flatter curve.

My two mantras for choosing technology:

1. Lame is the new Cool
2. Dumb is the new Smart

(We will get back to Rust coding soon, but sometimes, top-down views keep us on track)
