What's complicated? There's all these problems in industry that allegedly need solving, improving, etc. There's all kinds of academic work that solved a lot of that, sometimes with industry, case studies. One doesn't make it to the other and often vice versa. Why is that? How to solve it?

Sounds like an inherently complicated situation given all the parties, differing incentives, and legalities involved. I made an attempt in another post but not sure what will work.

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

It really doesn't, but it takes someone very self-aware to watch for the all-to-human tendency to pursue the beauty of complication.
