> For example, baked-in assumptions of how business works in Market A as you are expanding into Market's B and C. This isn't the fault of engineering

And you can bet the farm that some dev (or team) was trying to build in some flexibility in to the models which might have added an extra 2 weeks to deliver, which would save months of re-development a year later, and was shot down with 'YAGNI!' or just... "we don't have time!"

For some reason "management" folks get to plan out for the next 4-8-12 quarters, but a dev putting in basic plumbing to accommodate change that will happen 6-12 months down the road is simply rebuffed. "Oh, developers just want to write stuff all the time, they don't understand business", etc, and other nuggets I've heard over the years - grates me to no end.
