I think what I am describing is worse. I have a harder and harder time as software and the resultant supply chain surface grows. And my chance to filter, monitor, validate, and audit software gets correspondingly worse as systems do more and more.
More components; recursive dependencies; more remote infrastructure; these are the directions the world is going, and the stuff we need to manage this complexity is not keeping up.
- marcosdumay 1y agoHum... If you try to fight the stuff on your first paragraph with more of anything, you'll lose every single time. You can only fight it with fewer components, fewer recursive dependencies, and less remote infrastructure.
- mlyle 1y agoSure. Plenty of my stuff “lives” similarly to the mid-90s. But that is not the way of the world and is increasingly giving up a lot.
- SV_BubbleTime 1y agoI struggle with what I consider a complexity crisis. While at the same time, I believe the purpose of all things is to increase their entropy. So… I think that is the next filter or natural selection for us. That we make this so complex we crash, or we get better.
