I totally agree when designing man-made, synthetic systems. But it is interesting to consider that the most reliable, self-healing systems that exist -- animals! -- are incredibly complicated...
- rantwasp 7y agothere is a difference between complex and complicated. Also consider that systems where complexity serves a role are not complicated. Also: simple things that are aggregated into complex things through a hierarchy that is also simple can be reasoned about with failure happening subsystem level (and can be easily mitigated - think supervision trees in erlang)
