- vrosas 3y agoSort of, but people get defensive and start to argue that they _will_ need whatever it is at some point. But my argument is that, fine, you may be right, but if it's not needed _right at this very moment_ there's no reason to rush it in. Often the best way to prepare for the future is to do as little as possible - keeping things simple now makes adaptions much easier down the road if and when the need actually arises.
