This is only true if all the complexity is necessary and intrinsic to the problem. Simplicity means there is as little incidental (unnecessary) complexity as possible.
- namaria 5y agoSimplicity is a name for isolated complexity only if there is as little unnecessary complexity as possible? You can only contain intentional complexity. I think you are agreeing with me.
- api 5y agoI think you're underestimating the amount of inessential unnecessary complexity in most software and systems designs. There is a lot that can be trimmed without touching required complexity.
- namaria 5y agoDid I say anything contrary to what you just stated at any point? I literally said simplicity is an illusion, just a name for tamed complexity.
