> Something burnout has taught me is that the marginal differences between one implementation detail or another are not worth getting hung up on unless they pose a real problem, especially when someone else gets to decide that doing it fast is priority (sprints).
I think this is true. And a self-imposed problem (should a problem arise) is much less frustrating to fix than one that came from a decision imposed by someone else, even if the latter avoided loads of other problems. Sometimes it's better to let people make mistakes (as you believe them to be) and correct them later.
