Design Reasons: Over-Engineering

Over-engineering is the art of making something more complex than it needs to be, because, why settle for simple when you can have more complicated?

Here are some reasons why we over-engineer:

• We want to look cool and sophisticated, like a 1980s-era sci-fi film prop.
• We're secretly trying to make our users' brains hurt with too much information.
• We're allergic to whitespace.
• We want to confuse our competitors, making them wonder if we're actually competent or just pretending.

We're not just talking about code here, folks! We're talking about justifying over-engineering and the consequences of going overboard with complexity.
