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.
