Beers with Talos Ep. #64: Your problem isn’t complex, it's simply complexity

Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 64, recorded Oct. 10, 2019, discusses how making things too complex - from software to network design - creates danger, using PDF readers and a trip to the doctor's office as examples. The episode opens with an extended roundtable before turning to the trials of over-complexity in technology.

Bottom line: The episode's premise is that complexity itself, not any single flaw, is where things become disturbingly dangerous - a point worth weighing against the number of moving parts in your own software and network design.
