We draw boxes and arrows. We plan &ldquo;scalable microservices&rdquo; for a startup that has zero users. We think complexity is a sign of intelligence. Gall’s Law teaches us that <strong>Complexity is a result, not a starting point.</strong></p> <h4 id="the-mechanism-of-failure">The Mechanism of Failure</h4> <p>Why can&rsquo;t you build a complex system from scratch? Because reality is messy. When you build a simple system (e.g., a Python script that scrapes one website), you encounter real-world friction. You fix the bugs. The system &ldquo;hardens.&rdquo; When you try to build a complex system (e.g., a universal scraping engine for the entire web), you multiply the friction by 1,000. You have 1,000 un-hardened components interacting with each other. The number of potential failure points is not additive; it is combinatorial. The system doesn&rsquo;t just fail; it behaves unpredictably.</p>
