Fair enough, but in my career I have been into quite a few discussions / arguments where I have held up an architecture, data structure or whatever, as far better suited for future extensions than another one. Then I have been voted down; "We can't worry about future extensions now!", even though the future proof alternative was no more costly to implement. In several cases, there was the "Not invented by me" syndrome: The first implementation was done the way the most senior developer suggested (or the most aggressive new-and-upcoming-star youngsters).

In one case, the project management realized only three months later that the project had a "technical debt" - a major rewrite of core modules were required to handle the extensions for the next release. Usually it takes at least six months Smile | :)

Far too many "agile" proponents consider it a mortal sin to understand the real problem to be solved before writing 'int main(...' Knowing and understanding the problem domain in advance is against the principles of agile programming.

Not that books on agile development says so. Yet, far too many developers (and project managers) says so (at least indirectly).
