Attitudes That Lead to Maintainable Code

There's a line to tread here: solving future problems isn't a good idea, as you say, but neither is closing off future options by being too specific about your current needs.

You don't want to create extra problems for future you to solve.

Agreed. This is what I was referring to with my code not being a problem on its own. Ideally, you don't write things that wall you off from future options. But, neither should you try to anticipate all things.
