Over-Engineering: The Art of Making Things WAY Too Complicated

When you're not satisfied with a simple solution, but your grandma's cousin has 3 prophets in her name and she's not afraid to use them.

You're an over-engineer, and this is your happy place. Here, you can bask in the glory of unnecessary complexity and the adoration of your peers.

But don't just take our word for it! Read on to discover the 5 stages of over-engineering:

Stage 1: Over-Engineering the Obvious

Where we take a straightforward solution and add 3 unnecessary variables, just because we can.

Stage 2: The Great Code Refactor

Where we rename every variable, function, and class, because consistency is overrated.

Stage 3: The Unnecessary Feature

Where we add 5 features that nobody asked for, but will probably never use, because why not?

Stage 4: The Infinite Loop

Where we create an infinite loop that will drive our users crazy, but will make us proud, because we can.

Stage 5: The Final Sprint

Where we add 10 more features, 3 more loops, and 2 more languages, because why not, right?

And that's not all, folks! Visit our Epicentre for more over-engineering goodness.
