—
Do you remember the feeling you had when you first started programming? It was this feeling that I was learning something almost magical and that it was very, very confusing. As I began to progress as a developer, I started to realize that programming is complicated because life is complicated.
Programming is intrinsically complex because it is the medium we are attempting to use to describe the complex world in which we live.
If someone wants to become a better programmer, the most significant impact they can have on their progression is not to acquire more tools but instead change how they think about the world around them.
Managing complexity is the greatest challenge to writing software, with the level of complexity often exponentially increasing as your application grows in size.
The antidote to complexity is proper abstraction. Our ability to identify and properly segment application complexity allows a developer to apply an aggressive version of the Pareto Principle. We should spend 95% of our time working on the 5% of the application stack that contains true domain-level complexity.
In this workshop, we will discuss a mental model for complexity and abstraction while reinforcing these concepts as we build out an application. We will use Nx, Angular, and NestJS for the sample application, but the principles apply to any framework or language.
