Complexity merely shifts; it never vanishes.
In the real world, business complexity is conserved. You can’t eliminate it just by slapping on clever design patterns in your code (at the software level, algorithms and data structures tackle business problems head-on—design patterns just make code reusable and ops smoother).
What actually cuts down on software-side business complexity? Sharp management and streamlined workflows.
Software doesn’t fix management woes; it only amps up process efficiency. It’s a tool, after all—one that demands human operators to wield it. Folks who try to code their way out of management messes are inverting priorities and being downright lazy. The right path: Nail down your management policies and processes first, then build software to turbocharge their execution.
