Why is it every time I try to take the simple approach and not over-engineer things, I end up regretting it and needing to change it to the "I thought this would be over-engineered" approach?

Like, seriously, this happens all the time.

This is why I tend to "over-engineer" early, because I have been burned by this *so many times*.

@Crell it me.

“Maybe everyone has a point and it can be done in a simpler get it done fashion”
And then a lot of my forecasted risks and foot-guns are encountered in an almost inevitable fashion.

But “I told you so” is still taboo even in the professional environments I’ve been in so
*giant shrug*

I’m tired lol
