Just saying.

.... Saying what, exactly?

I said that we should

  • design for change
  • "within reason"
  • because we can't know what exact changes are needed.

And you argued... The same thing? Just in the reverse order?

Seems like he's worried you'll Java everything up, which can be valid.

I think a good, easy example is whether your application should allow a selection of databases or be tied to one database.

You can make arguments for either, often (but not always) regardless of your use case.
