The document discusses tackling complex code through various techniques including:
1. Dividing complex code into smaller pieces, testing each piece individually, and then recombining (divide, test, and conquer approach).
2. Using domain-driven design concepts like bounded contexts, domain modules, domain events, and repositories to separate code by domain.
3. Applying concepts like CQRS and hexagonal architecture to further separate code into independent layers.
4. Learning from past mistakes in a real project like prematurely coupling components and letting the database schema dictate the domain model.
