Writing machine code by hand is error-prone, high-level languages solved that; manual memory management is prone to leaks, GC solved that. Each generation of tools eliminates the accidental complexity of the previous generation.Essential complexity is inherent to the problem. What exactly should this system do? Are there contradictions between requirements?

They are all tools. The key point is to solve accidental complexity. Moreover, it has been proven that after each technological iteration, because there is less accidental complexity and it's easier to solve, humans actually have more energy and time to think about e - **不做咸鱼的小明 · 2026-03-30T23:55:00.000Z**: For accidental complexity, AI is not just a silver bullet, it's practically a nuclear bomb. For essential complexity, it's not even a single bullet. - **不做咸鱼的小明 · 2026-03-30T23:54:42.000Z**: AI is making great strides on the battlefield of accidental complexity, but remains helpless in the face of essential complexity. Not only has AI failed to eliminate essential complexity, it has also produced an unexpected side effect: it has made essential complexity more urgent.
