WetHat💦Over-engineering takeaways: ➡️ Misjudging future requirements can lead to inappropriate abstractions. ➡️ Avoiding over-engineering can be as impactful as achieving technical brilliance. ➡️Simplicity is key to maintainability. ➡️Avoid predicting needs that aren't certain. ➡️Create abstractions that align with current and reasonable future requirements.<a href="https://www.16elt.com/2024/09/07/future-proof-code/?_bhlid=684eaf1d61f0ce4a2732e0b8746f17c6e77724f4&utm_source=newsletter.csharpdigest.net&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=on-over-engineering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.16elt.com/2024/09/07/future-proof-code/?_bhlid=684eaf1d61f0ce4a2732e0b8746f17c6e77724f4&utm_source=newsletter.csharpdigest.net&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=on-over-engineering</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SoftwareDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDesign</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BestPractices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BestPractices</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OverEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OverEngineering</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Refactoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Refactoring</a>
