Draft article on software simplicity



http://www.levien.com/free/decommoditizing.html

"The design of software is a constant struggle against complexity. On the
one hand, the world is complex, and many difficult problems inherently
require complex solutions. On the other hand, it's quite easy to add
gratuitious complexity. The key difference is how much of the problem
the complex software solves (i.e. how much complexity is exported to
the other side of the protocol)."
