On that "complexity law", I agree with most of what's said there, except one little tiny piece. The use of "complexity" throughout is inappropriate, IMO. s/complexity/difficulty. Complexity is a different beast entirely, and doesn't hold the meaning this law is targeting.

Yeah, that one was going to be more or less "loosely interpreted". Mainly, I want to drive home the point:

Every application has an inherent amount of irreducible complexity

which, to me, implies that you should design your code "well" (here comes SRP, etc etc). A side-effect of this is that sometimes the problem space is complicated, but that doesn't mean you need to make it any more complicated by writing convoluted code.
