Getting rid of complexity is the theme of Dr. Neumann research in computers and network security. See Killing the Computer to Save It
"... the insight that “complex systems break in complex ways” — that the
increasing complexity of modern hardware and software has made it
virtually impossible to identify the flaws and vulnerabilities in
computer systems and ensure that they are secure and trustworthy."
“I’m fundamentally an optimist with regard to what we can do with
research,” he said. “I’m fundamentally a pessimist with respect to what
corporations who are fundamentally beholden to their stockholders do,
because they’re always working on short-term appearance.”
What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible. It this re-start of software I wish to explore here in this blog. Welcome
