We need better tools to understand, manage and reduce complexity, not tools that allow us to create more.

That is begging the question. What I mean is, a lot of people want more complexity, because they want things to take longer, because they make more money. Middle managers want programmers to be busy but go slowly so they can justify hiring more people. There was an interview with Marc Andreesen about that, and Bjarne Stroustrup earlier.

Bottom line: faster isn't better.

Generally if you document your interfaces, that's enough. The comments end up being useful because then I can just read the comment to figure out what a function does (and what values are valid, how it behaves on error) instead of spending time looking through the code to figure it out.

Get the interfaces pretty. The internal code can be fixed later if needed.

Who is "we" here? Certainly not a failing country that will absolutely cut every corner.
