That's something I wasn't 100% sure about. When "incidental complexity" was discussed in the talk, I thought it was pretty much the same as "accidental complexity" in the way that Fred Brooks means it in No Silver Bullet. So I used "accidental complexity" and linked to the wikipedia article to hopefully provide some useful info.
- wonderzombie 14y agoThere is also Out of the Tarpit[1], which also uses "accidental." This is a paper Rich Hickey mentions in at least one of his talks. [1]: http://shaffner.us/cs/papers/tarpit.pdf http://shaffner.us/cs/papers/tarpit.pdf
