@jbrains My reasoning is that problems are essentially (non-zero) complex; complication is introduced when we model them in software, which are very likely imperfect simulacra. @jbrains The farther the simulacrum is from reality, the greater the non-essential (accidental) complication we add to the system.

@jbrains Quick question re: complicated vs complex, if you'll allow it.
Context: I get why "accidental complication" and not "accidental complexity" (and totally agree with it 💡)

So, @bguthrie and I got to talking during the last #XTC #NYC, and I asked him something… … something that seemed very simple on the face of it…
