I see a lot of under-engineering in code, over simplification without a view for the future and an understanding of the final goal. YAGNI - you ARE going to need it.... Most good choices are about understanding what is needed in architecture and what is not. 10x is about this for me. A senior attitude not a junior. A focus on the result not the process. Functionality over linting. Users over developers. Execution over elegance.

I was suggesting a balance, one that favours functionality over form. If your code looks like shit and is unmaintainable then you've broken multiple of the rules I listed.
