Yep, taking some care early on can pay dividends down the road. The data structures you choose really matter, and YAGNI can stop you from going overboard with indirection and other shit. Premature optimization is bad, but there’s nothing wrong with writing performant software as long as it’s still comprehensible and extensible.
