This is one of the rare HN thinkpieces that's actually correct. You cannot remove essential complexity. You can shuffle it around, but it never goes away; you will have to deal with it. You can try to hand it off to someone else, like another team. But that actually makes it worse, because there's still some critical piece you depend on that's hidden behind the silo walls.

Rather than trying to hide things to "ease adoption", the correct answer is to educate people. Devs hate learning things. But once they learn the new thing, the pain goes away, and the results are better. The more you try to avoid it, the more problems you create later.
