Yeah. I think many or most large established codebases/software stacks could be an order of magnitude or two simpler (making them an order of magnitude or two easier to iterate on, in terms of both time and number of devs needed) But the reality we've discovered is that there's a constant gravitational force pulling most dev orgs to keep increasing complexity, forever, much faster than the actual product increases in complexity. We can avoid this at the individual level, maybe the team level, but at this point it feels unavoidable at the company or industry level
