How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

Premature optimization doesn't exist in my book. Over engineering does. But if there are 7 days in a week and a client that might change thier mind. It doesn't hurt to keep it generic. That is where development point of view clashes because I do believe in future proofing but others don't, I get it and I'm cool with it, but I'm going to predict what is reasonable to predict, that's just me.

Yeah, and sometimes it makes sense because like you said there are 7 days.
But whenever a project manager tells me "we might want to support this" I think really carefully about how likely that is, and whether it's worth over engineering now or just building for the project at hand.

Of course, we are talking about work, work, that means delivery takes precedence and with haste I agree. You get a feeling when something will take too long to explore, that feeling is my limit.
At home I just ignore that feeling and make my scripts do backflips around the internet whistling to the tune of yanky doodle. Now that's over engineering to be proud of.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Somebody once told me "we don't know anything about anything. What we do know time will tell." So that is where my point of view comes from.
