Stuff is Hard

I could have written this article so much better in so much less time. ;)

Seriously, great explanation of complexity. This is a good read for software engineers and product managers. The number of times I see folks ask for something and expect that it is simple b/c they don't understand the nuance in some things.

You've also uncovered one of the reasons that a great project manager is a patient person, and often will have experience writing code. These are the folks who understand that small changes can require large changes under the hood. The really great ones understand how to take this into account and make requests that consider the risk and complexity, along with the utility of a feature.

I hope you make the front page. Upvoted.
