YAGNI
I like to keep my code simple.
I only write the code I need to add the functionality I need, and I only include the current requirements.
There's no benefit to writing code for additional requirements that may never be needed or used.
I also think this when adding new modules or packages, or implementing a design pattern.
Do I really need this?
What value does it add?
Is there a simpler way to achieve the same thing?
If so, I'm happy to call YAGNI on it.
