When I say "over-engineering" I mean stuff like this: https://github.com/MarkSFrancis/enterprise-fizz-buzz Building a whole ton of stuff, just to do something fairly trivial.

In this example, it's black and white obviously over engineered. The reality is, in an application of moderate complexity, whether or not it is indeed over-engineered is a far more subjective calculation.

E.g., >90% of engineers would agree enterprise-fizz-buzz is over-engineered.

But perhaps ~50% of engineers agree my SaaS app is over-engineered.

Just to be very clear, that application is intended as a joke. (just in case)
