Well you know, the thing is that according to Pike & Kernighan in "The
Practice of Programming", your first implementation of a program
should be scrapped and rewritten from scratch, so your approach might
not be that wrong after all.
The trouble is that if you overthink your code, you'll end up losing
interest in the project and write bloated code that may be too generic
for what you need. So either way there can be trouble, although it is
right to try to balance yourself in between these two extremes...
