Don't over-architect, but also don't architect yourself into a hole.

The best advice I was ever given was don't do more than you need to, but make sure that you design in such a way that you can rearchitect without rewriting the while damned thing.

Always have an escape plan. That escape plan being having the ability to lift and shift.

Or, another job opportunity and litter the code with comments like "have fun parallelizing this code, sucker!"
