Attention, developers / management
I'd never heard of Gall's Law before, but I *really* like it.
"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system."
aka Why Microsoft's attempts to beat Google are doomed.
Microsoft, complexity, Gall's Law
