I’d say a lot of enterprise software fits into this category.... just that they are very evolved now so pack a lot more functionality in than what they started with.
Ie CRMs and ERPs were really just basic CRUD applications when they started.
Not to belittle them, as there are years (Millenia perhaps?) of programming time that has gone into them since they started so they are far more extensive than when they started.
- maxxxxx 8y agoMost Enterprise software turns into incredibly complex beasts once you have a few customers and years of usage. Definitely not simple by any measure.
- icedchai 8y agoIt starts off simple. Then someone wants to customize things. Then someone else wants to customize things a bit differently, on and on. That field you give everyone by default and made mandatory? Turns on 1 huge customer doesn't actually want it. That needs to be configurable, too. Pretty soon everything almost is configurable and it's 1000x more complex...
- BLanen 8y agoDon't forget building it in a way to allow the user(ie, expensive consultants why you may be supplying yourself or grant certificates too) to customize it themselves!
