Software IS "the business". Software has always been complex. To make things easy in the application experience the complexity is pushed down. More to the point it is not so much that software is any more complex but the volume of software knowledge and awareness is overwhelming even to those coding the stuff. Platitudes about simplicity are a dime a dozen. Rather than despair take comfort in knowing you are not alone in feeling swept by a tide of perpetual software churn.
