My wife was diagnosed with PCOS (poly-cystic ovary syndrome) and we learned that it reduced her chances to get pregnant. Few weeks later we were sitting against this famous reproductive endocrinologist who were explaining us our options: - Yeah, going to a fertility clinic is of course an option. However, you should at first perhaps consider a more traditional approach instead. - What is the traditional approach, some medication? - People seem to have forgotten how to have sex these days. However embarrassed we were at that time (BTW he then laughed and saved us from the awkwardness), trying the obvious, easy solution and taking care of problems as they come became a conscious thing afterwards. I love over-engineering, but asking myself and the other stakeholders "what are we actually trying to accomplish here" is the most engineer-like thing I do nowadays. I'm not suggesting just winging it all the time, but looking for the easiest solution first, not last. That's all.
