I always believed that your worst enemy as a software architect is the belief that you add a feature because "you or somebody will probably need it in the future".

Even if it can happen, my experience was always that the more pragmatic you can get with problem solving, the better (and far more maintainable) the code produced.

I strongly believe that future proofing is a trap, but realize that its not easy to get into a pragmatic mindset.

On the other hand, bold dares to create something you believe in can lead to something great.
But the ratio is relatively low.
