I think if you misinterpret YAGNI as “you don’t need to change this later”. So your becomes rigidly hard coded, instead of having easily configurable variables

I think if you misinterpret YAGNI as “you don’t need to change this later”. So your becomes rigidly hard coded, instead of having easily configurable variables and arguments.
