Tog’s Paradox (also known as The Complexity Paradox or Tog’s ComplexityParadox) is an observation that products aiming to simplify a task for users tend toinspire new, more complex tasks. It’s one of the key reasons for thesymptom of requirements changing after delivery in enterprise softwareproducts, and for feature creep in consumer products. Tog’s Paradox alsoexplains why it’s futile to try to completely nail down requirements for asoftware product, as the product itself will have an impact on the users,causing them to demand new functions.

Look no further than the recent forkings of Redis and Terraform to see where the true power lies in the land of open source.
