In my experience we all go through a stage at the Designed-Developer level of, having discovered things like Design Patterns, overengineering the design of the software to the point of making it near unmaintainable (for others or for ourselves 6 months down the line).

The next stage is to discover the joys of KISS and, like you described, refraining from premature optimization.
