My response to Out of the Tar Pit

The Eric Normand Podcast - A podcast by Eric Normand

Out of the Tar Pit came out 14 years ago and it was a big influence on my thinking. I've thought a lot about it and I want to share some extensions and refinements of the ideas in the paper. Specifically, I hope to present a more objective definition of complexity and refine the idea of Essential vs. Accidental complexity.
