That's an interesting take. Thanks for sharing. Sure, I can definitely see the "google this error" effect as having permitted a higher degree of complexity. Or, maybe to be more accurate, lowered the barrier to entry to create more complex systems. There are probably pros/cons to this. It takes less sophistication to build something very complex, thereby democratizing the ability of building sophisticated systems/services, but it also means there are many more complex systems out than there is a community of people who have a more-or-less "good" understanding of what they do and, possibly, whose overall behaviour is likely only partially understood by their own designers. Cue in all sorts of security implications, etc. Food for thought. I don't mind the quoting, but, just in terms of mental hygiene, I generally dislike posting unequivocal opinions on the internet ... because it's often come back to bite me ;) I'm especially skeptical of my own writing when I use labels such as "ignorant" or "arrogant". So long as you understand that I don't take myself very seriously, I mostly stand by that quote you mention.
