My quote of the week. :)
The problem of software is often one of managing complexity. We can't seem to get rid of it, but we can push it around... alas, if we aren't careful about how we push it around, we add to the overall complexity.
Quite true. What do you think of this? http://www.rebelscience.org/Cosas/Reliability.htm I read Brooks' book nearly a year ago. This is an interesting contrary view.
And I might be wrong. I thought OOP sucked when I believed the pundits that held up C++ as the epitome of OO-ness. (Which is another case of shifting complexity around and making the overall level of complexity increase just to reduce a little complexity somewhere else.) I was wrong about OO, but right, I believe, about C++.
I think many people (myself included) are in violent agreement with you on this one.
