What's interesting is that decent senior dev code sometimes almost looks careless, but really works well in the end. I absolutely love this description. In a lot of ways, YAGNI is what really sets senior code apart. When I was a more junior dev, I thought senior code often looked under-engineered, but in hindsight I realized I was over-engineering things at the time. Another thing would be duplicating code instead of doing some complex re-use with complicated conditionals. God, I wish I could go back in time and burn this into my brain.
