I have built projects with a friend in the past. He so aggressively avoids overengineering that he goes the other way - if you make ANY effort to properly engineer something he gets really annoyed and says time is being wasted. It's almost like he feels software MUST be engineered to NOT scale in order to be an "MVP". It's strange because for me, thinking about how something is built means that it can be built right the first time, without extra effort, just by thinking it through.
