> Through Brooks’ accidental-vs-essential lens, a lot of discussion around when to use Kubernetes boils down to the idea that essential complexity can become accidental complexity when you use the wrong tool for the job. The number of states my microwave can enter is essential complexity if I want to heat food, but accidental complexity if I just want a timer. With that in mind ... I'm twisting my mind trying to grasp this interpretation in Brooks' complexity paradigm. I'm sure Brooks would be interested to learn there exists so called wrong-tools that can reduce essential complexity to accidental :). I think Brooks would put it that the essential complexity is the same and irreducible, but the accidental complexity is increased when the wrong tool is used.
