reduce complexity

What is māori geek?

māori geek, started by me (Graham Jenson), is a New Zealand software consulting company with the goal to "reduce the complexity of software".

As a system evolves its complexity increases unless work is done to maintain or reduce it. Lehman's laws of software evolution
It has been shown that 49% to 75% of the cost of owning software is maintaining it. It has also been shown that the continual maintenance of software results in inevitable complexity. Reducing this complexity requires planning and work, this is the primary focus of māori geek.
