One of the holy grails of being a great developer, at least to me, is finding a way to deliver quickly while also being prepared for future changes, without requiring a significant upfront time investment.

There is an interesting tension here because if we want to deliver more flexible components, we often have to either make it support a lot of cases or make it more generic.
