Yagni

12/12/2020

In this blog post, the author introduces the concept of YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) in software development. YAGNI is a principle that suggests developers should only implement functionality when it is necessary, rather than trying to anticipate and build for potential future needs. The article explains that by following the YAGNI principle, developers can avoid wasting time and effort on features that may never be used, and instead focus on delivering value to the customers. The author also discusses the potential risks of not following YAGNI, such as bloated codebases and increased complexity. Overall, the article advocates for a pragmatic and minimalistic approach to software development.
