> One (codeulike) apparently thinks simply being "bored" is what drives abstract thinkers This is a pretty huge leap from what the commenter actually said, which was: > I'll tell you what though, if you have a programming task that you find boring, over-engineering it and over-architecting it can make it _so_ much more enjoyable. It seems you've misinterpreted many of the comments. People aren't upset about any kind of architectural design, only where it crosses a hard-to-define threshold into "over-architected". This is pretty hard to quantify exactly, but it is entirely likely you, codeulike and the rest would have an identical threshold where you'd say "you've gone too far ..." on some design.
