I'm also building a lot of YAGNI but

  • it's for personal projects
  • I accepted that I'll never finish my projects, it's a hobby that's giving me pleasure, that's ok
  • hmm YAGNI is the best for relaxing ;)

I had to search it:

"You aren't gonna need it" (YAGNI) is a principle which arose from extreme programming (XP) that states a programmer should not add functionality until deemed necessary.

Yeah, resist adding it!!
