In practice tho, the grass is always greener on the other side. You either wish the developer had just hacked something to get it going, when the feature failed, or you wished they had put more effort to make it more abstract and scalable, when the feature set for scaling.
Everyone's a genius on hindsight. Getting it right is more of a mix of experience, gut feel and luck imo.
