Simplicity or Flexibility?
Sergio has a nice blog entry about the Flexibility vs Simplicity
dilema that developers are constantly in.
It reminds me of a project we both worked in where we ended with
a piece of code that would accept any kind of entries
(configurable), classify them in a certain (configurable) way, do
any kind of transformations (configurable) and save the result. So
we ended with a product that could do almost anything but demanded
a lot of configuration effort.
