+  You aren't gonna need it.
+---
+
+I like to keep my code simple.
+
+I only write the code I need to add the functionality I need, and I only include the current requirements.
+
+There's no benefit to writing code for additional requirements that may never be needed or used.
+
+I also think this when adding new modules or packages, or implementing a design pattern.
+
+Do I really need this?
+
+What value does it add?
+
+Is there a simpler way to achieve the same thing?
+
+If so, I'm happy to call YAGNI on it.
