I see another person using Fred Brooks "accidental complexity" in a wrong way.
Software development is hard because "essential complexity" is hard. Whatever people want to do is hard. You can make it easier to write software as much as you want, but you are not making "world" easier. That is main point of Fred Brooks essay.
I see a lot of devs are making statements that now development for them is essential complexity. While no, software and code never will be essential complexity, software only helps us to solve essential things faster.
