7:10 p.m. I Heart Complexity
Adam Keys
Ruby, and Rails in particular, started out with a very strong statement against complexity. Mostly this was about the complexity that imposed by ceremonious frameworks and technologies.
My stance is that all the really simple applications are done. But perhaps there are some ideas, some complexity, we can add to our problem-solving repertoire that let us tackle much larger applications. Some levers we can use to apply a little force and get a lot of result. “I Heart Complexity” seeks to identify some of the levers that already exist in the wild and how they can combine to build really interesting apps.
