ego-driven development If I am a senior engineer with a huge salary and I am asked to come up with an architecture proposal, and the end result is a proposal so simple (but correct) that a first year university student could've come up with the same thing, it might lead to uncomfortable questions being asked. So I'll add a few unnecessarily complicated pieces in there, call them safeguards, something to help with scaling, maybe throw in some caching here and there, just to be safe.
