If I had a dollar for every time I proposed spending more time on something to make it flexible and able to grow but being told to "hard code it" to save time, I'd have several dollars. If I had a dollar for every time I had to patch that 6 months later, I'd have several more dollars.
You couldn't pay me enough dollars to cover the therapy caused by having to maintain the "flexible" code that added complexity and abstraction for a single use case that was never expanded to handle more.
Staring down the long barrel of this right now.
But don’t worry it’s just an MVP 🙄
