GW AdvOS: System Design, Abstraction, Modularity, and Structure

I discuss the necessary topic of how systems constrain complexity, and can scale up to the 10s to 100s of millions of lines of code that we see around us. Specifically, I discuss: - Essential vs. Accidental Complexity - Abstraction, modularity, and system structure (layering, hierarchy, DAG) to handle complexity - The centrality and importance of interfaces in system design - Simplicity as key to managing module complexity
