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.

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.
