I was replying to pavel_lishin's parent comment, in which he noted that he has been burned many times by not optimizing early for flexibility: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5003341 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5003341 My experience is similar to pavel_lishin's, and our experiences are contrary to the author of the article.
