Overengineering causes
- Trying to anticipate the future and be ready for the unknown: It's easy to think that we can make it future-proof by investing a little more time “just in case”.
- A lack of experience. The more senior you are, the less prone you are to overengineer.
- Loosely defined requirements: If an engineer does not have a well-defined problem, he will tend to overengineer to protect himself from uncertainty.
- Boredom: If an engineer does not have exciting challenges to face, he may end up complicating any problem simply by trying something new.
