I've been around long enough,I know. It is indeed good advice to make things extensible, within reason. I have written some over engineered things that ended up being a pain to maintain.

My best advice is to learn the domain as much as possible, then you'll be more aware of both the concepts involved and the potential pitfalls. In the OP comic, knowing that the machines are capable of making other shapes would have helped predict the problem even when management says "we're a triangle shop".
