In the previous post, I completed the consideration of accidental complexity at the architecture level by discussing potential countermeasures to the drivers of accidental complexity which I discussed in the post before.
This post is about mitigation techniques regarding accidental complexity in the architectural level.
In the previous post, I discussed the technology explosion we could observe in the recent years, its drivers, how it often creates unneeded complexity, reinforcing drivers and what we can do about it.
After completing the short “OSS” blog series series and before returning to the “Simplify!” blog series that grew quite a lot while writing, I would like to discuss a completely different topic. I call it “the two first laws of architectural work”.
In the previous post, I discussed the two most widespread misconceptions about OSS, that OSS is for free and that it does not create any lock-in.
