@bender That thing on the top is actually a tent 🤣
The 26°C humidity was through the roof and we just barely escaped the thunderstorm on our stroll. Only the adjacent rain hit us hard. Black clouds caught up on us and we decided to take cover at a barn. Not even a minute later it started to rain cats and dogs for ten minutes straight. Holy crap, that was cool to watch. :-) Also, the smell of rain was just beautiful.
We then decided to continue our return in the light drizzle. But it then got much heavier again and we got completely soaked. With the wet t-shirt and the wind it actually felt rather cold. I anticipated to get rained on, so I left my camera at home. Plenty of paths turned into brook landscapes, several centimeter deep creeks ran down the hilly trails. Quite fascinating. :-)
The sunset a few minutes ago wasn't too bad:

@prologic pretty cool! What's the top, storage? The same vehicle is sold here as a Nissan Frontier. As I said before, Japanese trucks last almost forever.

This is the whole point of this Yarn where I'm trying to figure out with y'all to see if there might possibly be a way to formally measure and manage complexity, budget of a software, system or organization.

@movq well that depends on what this 2000 lines of coat does right does the 2000 lines of code basically amount to a linear set of instructions with no branching? Or is that 2000 lines of Covid include lots of conditional branching that make understanding what the program does, difficult and hard to maintain?

@eapl.me Cool! 👌 I shall have to have a look into these. If you've read both before, perhaps you can share short excerpts or your own thoughts and experiences?

@movq That's what I'm implying yea! 👌 if we can figure out how to measure complexity, we can figure out how to control complexity and thereby keep software systems and even organizations more simple and easier to manage potentially even more cost-effective.

@prologic *Or* maybe people do have a good intuitive understanding of complexity and they’re just *way too overconfident* all the time. 🤔 Is that what you’re getting at? That the “complexity budget” could be a good tool to break this behavior? 🤔

@prologic Hmm, yeah, hmm, I’m not sure. 😅 It all appears very subjective to me. Is 2k lines of code a lot or not?
I mean, I’m all for reducing complexity. 😅 I just have a hard time defining it and arguing about it. What I call “too complex”, others might think of as “just fine”. 🤔

@prologic Haha, didn't expect that from the introduction. :-D
@prologic Your message got a bit mangled up I reckon, not sure if I understand it. I don't find these lists hard to read. The question is more, which of the standards do you follow? I doubt that another package really helps a lot. I mean, one can just use the codes already if one wanted to.
@shreyan Hell yeah, that looks great! I love it. :-) Where is this?

nailed the base portion of it. took a walk break and then a "cool down" to top it off. thought it would be nice outside with some rain but it was barely sprinkling when i was out until after the run.

@movq but surely it doesn't just come down to an individuals understanding of a piece of software right? I mean, complexity comes from many different things for example, the number of components the number of sub-systems, lines of code, the number of abstractions, even the complexity of those abstractions., etc..

> The new report published Thursday dives into the many types of dark patterns like sneaking, obstruction, nagging, forced action, social proof and others. Sneaking was among the most common dark patterns encountered in the study, referring to the inability to turn off the auto-renewal of subscriptions during the sign-up and purchase process. Eighty-one percent of sites and apps studied used this technique to ensure their subscriptions were renewed automatically. In 70% of cases, the subscription providers didn't provide information on how to cancel a subscription, and 67% failed to provide the date by which a consumer needed to cancel in order to not be charged again

@slashdot this is a bit sad to see girls in tech shutdown and close its doors. 😢 did they run out of money? Or did something else drive this decision? 🤔

> When we think of "complexity" in terms of software and software development, we have a sort-of intuitive about this right? We know when software has become _too_ complex.
Honestly, I don’t think so. This is highly subjective. I guess it mostly depends on whether a person *currently* understands a particular program or not. I’ve seen this happen many times: Somebody writes code, they love it, they think it’s great and elegant and simple. As soon as that person stays away from the code for some time and forgets about all the intricate details, they start ranting about how horrible it is. 😂
Maybe this could be a measure of simplicity/complexity: How long does it take a new person who joins the team until they understand the program? (This obviously depends on the individual skills, so this has to be averaged over many people …) 🤔

I've been thinking about a new term I've come across whilst reading a book. It's called "Complexity Budget" and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:
- Complexity is confusing
- Complexity is costly
- Complexity kills
When we think of "complexity" in terms of software and software development, we have a sort-of intuitive about this right? We know when software has become _too_ complex. We know when an organization has grown in complexity, or even a system. So we have a good intuition of the concept already.
My question to y'all is; how can we concretely think about "Complexity Budget" and define it in terms that can be leveraged and used to control the complexity of software dns ystems?
