Have you noticed how programmers LOVE puzzles and complexity? Seeming for complexity's sake?


Sometimes I think that complexity naturally evolves because people are really bad at analytical thinking, which creates unnecessary complexity resulting from bad design/implementation. I can see that very thing happen with systems I've worked on, and it takes effort to force myself to re-architect rather than create complexity with patches. This, BTW, is why I hate refactoring.

It's in their commercial interest to make things as difficult and complex as possible so customers and users get "locked in" to their eco-system.


Agreed. But it doesn't need to be difficult or complex, just deeply embedded. If I start using DevExpress controls, or build a website using Twitter-Bootstrap, there's no way I'm going to switch mid-stream. Well, maybe with DevExpress I could if had the foresight to wrap its controls in an abstraction layer.

Have you also noticed how open source really does not generate new ideas just coding versions of existing ideas?


Mostly true. There is some really innovative stuff out there, but nobody uses it for that reason, unless it's really necessary for the project.

C Grant Anderson wrote:
Could your project be a joint project that would help us all?


That's the intention. I started goofing around with the idea in Ruby on Rails[^] and have been poking around with a C# implementation using the HtmlAgilityPack, but it's still in its infancy. I'm also looking for people to donate time to this innovative work[^]. Smile | :)

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
