Over-engineering is the curse of smart guys without enough experience.

I believe this is well documented today, but maybe not that much in academia.

What they need to avoid this trap is to talk with people who got burned earlier.

As a rule of thumb, don't design for future use case, ever.

Future-proofing is a fool errand.
