> Boeing got some but worse, and also made their products so complex that humans can’t understand it as a whole let alone communicate it to others.

> It’s not just Boeing. It’s everyone, everywhere. All systems in every market require so much extra “stuff” that we’re on a spiral.

Nah. That's just another facet of engineering incompetence.

Complexity doesn't just happen, it is allowed to happen.

We repeatedly went to the moon over 50 years ago, with complex systems that were well understood by the different teams that built them.

Now, 50 years later, if we are not capable of repeating the same feat, we are doing something wrong.

If we use software-controlled hardware and then throw are hands in the air screaming "it's too complex", we are doing something wrong. That stuff shouldn't have been used in the first place.
