Devil's advocate:
> Peter asked Zawinski, “Overengineering seems to be a pet peeve of yours.”
> “Yeah,” he says, “At the end of the day, ship the fucking thing! It’s great to rewrite your code and make it cleaner and by the third time it’ll actually be pretty. But that’s not the point—you’re not here to write code; you’re here to ship products.”
