> engineers like complexity Is that really true? If it's descriptive, then I'm not an engineer (and I may well not be). I don't like complexity at all, in any form. I want the least complex solution to any problem that will work. However, I've mostly given up on decomplexifying, because it's mostly a waste of time. Software becomes complex because getting something done fast, right now, "this time", because, "we're in a hurry this sprint" by duplicating code will always win over trying to modify something to be reusable. If you try to spend time fighting complexity, you won't just be fighting the complexity inherent in the existing system, you'll be fighting your coworkers who've given up on fighting complexity and just get their tickets into a done state.
