> That's a separate issue from technical debt because whether code is generalized is only one aspect of many that determines whether the code is a dream or a nightmare to work with.
That's one of the problems attributed to goldplating and over-engineering solutions. One man's future-proof implementation is another man's unnecessary indirection that's a problem to maintain. Thus we end up creating an environment where rigid implementations that are prone to colossal amounts of technical debt are preferred over adaptable solutions that minimize or eliminate technical debt.
