LOC correlates to complexity, and they reduced it by 1000x. Complexity kills progress. We made progress in physics when Maxwell's equations elegantly simplified enormously important phenomena. They're trying to find that simplification for software.
- wangii 10y agoI think they are on the wrong track of simplification. In this industry, simplification does not come from elegant abstraction, technology or deep thinking, but obsoletion and concentration. When I first touched Internet, there were 6 protocols and now only 1 survived.
