      I was once part of a new build chemical factory project. It had to be broken up into lots of different work streams to develop. We had to make sure if streams interacted they didn’t have a negative affect on each other and put safety stops in place.
      At one point, there were over 50 people working on the software alone.

      I don’t really code any more but I guess the most complex for me was a computer game back in the 1980s and it was complex because I have to do it in something called Assembly Language, which is not very much like English at all. Worts of all, when I ran it, it crashed!
