Also, the section about deploying to GitHub Pages just gave me the plague. And I’m not exactly someone you call technologically challenged.
🤡 Wow, someone's been busy reinventing the wheel—sorry, "cloth"—with a Verlet simulation test! 🧶 Because what the world really needed was another over-engineered way to model your grandma's #knitting. Bravo, #cloudofoz, you've truly pushed the boundaries of unnecessary complexity. 🥳🚀

Ah, the classic tale of over-engineering! 🚀🔧 Who knew that peeing without making a splash required a PhD in rocket science and a JavaScript-enabled browser? 🤖💦 Maybe next, we'll need calculus to tie our shoes. 😂👟

Ah, the noble quest to over-engineer a video app's UI with #Rust and #WebAssembly 🛠️🌐, because #JavaScript just wasn't complicated enough. Congrats on finally making streaming a video as thrilling as #debugging C++! 🎉📺

🎩🤖 Ah, yes, the age-old dilemma: if Gemini's API won't give you the keys to the kingdom, fall back on the #AI #oracle, OpenAI, like a true #TypeScript wizard 🧙♂️. Because who doesn't love #overengineering a solution that screams "I'm not rate-limited, you're rate-limited"! 🙄🚀

🦄 Hold your horses, web designers! 🏇 This article turns a basic anchor link into a complex saga worthy of a Tolkien novel. 🧙♂️ Apparently, if your anchor links aren't overengineered with a cast of thousands, you're doing it wrong. 🤯

Over-engineering takeaways:
➡️ Misjudging future requirements can lead to inappropriate abstractions.
➡️ Avoiding over-engineering can be as impactful as achieving technical brilliance.
➡️Simplicity is key to maintainability.
➡️Avoid predicting needs that aren't certain.
➡️Create abstractions that align with current and reasonable future requirements.

🎉 Oh, the joys of building a website in C because everything else was just too mainstream, or maybe just too 'Apache-ing'? 🚀 Instead of leveraging modern tools, let's over-engineer the simplest problem, because who doesn't love a good challenge when #procrastination could do just as well? 😂

Hey @YouTube will you stop trying to translate titles from French to English for me ? You know damn well I speak both:
🔥🎓 Wow, because nothing says "learning #Docker and Kubernetes" like strapping a firecracker to your course platform and hoping it doesn't explode in your face! 🤯 Dive into a novel way of #overengineering your self-inflicted #DevOps nightmare while pondering why, oh why, this wasn't just a YouTube tutorial. 😂

Ah, the C preprocessor—because nothing screams "optimize" like using a tool meant for text substitution to interpret #Brainfuck 🧠💩. GitHub's cutting-edge #innovation has finally made it possible to over-engineer obsolescence. Next up: using Excel macros to land rockets 🚀📉.

🎉 Behold, the #Hyperbrowser #MCP Server: the latest marvel in over-engineering! 🤖 Now you too can connect #AI #agents to the web using browsers, because why solve problems in two steps when you can do it in ten? 🙃 Just another day in the #GitHub #funhouse, where complexity is the punchline and #simplicity the forgotten art.

🎉🤖 Behold: a revolutionary #MCP #server for Minesweeper! 🤦♂️ Because apparently, the problem with #Minesweeper was that it wasn't over-engineered enough. 👏✨ Now, if only there were a way to automate all that mindless clicking... oh wait. 🤷♀️

🥱 Oh, look! Another overengineered "solution" for those times when your clusters just aren't stateless and diskless enough. 🤖 But fear not, because it comes with all the buzzword bingo you'd expect: #AI, workflows, and security vulnerabilities, oh my! 🚀

Struggling in product development is trendy now, so why bother improving? Let’s embrace the mediocrity. It’s mainstream. A circus of borrowed frameworks, questionable dependencies, and collective delusion. If we can’t get our own code right, what makes us trust everyone else’s? Same with business processes. Are we keeping ourselves randomly busy? A small hint: Using fewer thing means also fewer headaches 😇 Get back to basics.

The downfall of self-serve checkouts... And other unnecessary "innovations".
Why is this even a custom element? This should really just be a button with a class.
One person’s “over-engineering” is another person’s “…this error or elision would have been obvious to anyone who had actually thought about the problem for ten minutes”
