I think Ousterhout has interesting approach for software complexity and it's causes. In a nutshell, he suggests it's composed of (cognitive) dependencies between the software components, and obscurity. If anyone has more reading suggestions which have focus on software complexity, I'd like to hear about them.

Perhaps ponder…
