That can be a valid complaint as long as it's not about the logic or rules themselves, but how they're expressed in the code. Code that your team members can't work on is a liability.
- rendall 5y agoAgreed. I see complexity as kind of a mass, and our job is in part to reduce it as far as possible. Like mass, you can shuffle complexity around, or add more, or discover unexpected ways to reduce it, but there is no way to reduce it below the problem's lower bound. Sometimes, the solution is as simple as it's going to get, and it's still complicated. State management is a good example. I'm more referring to that situation. This article's headline is an example of the argument I mean. If not using Regex is the proposal for reducing complexity, it's not going to reduce complexity.
