In software we don't build a 10 ton deck when a 2 ton deck would do, we build a Deck Builder Factory that prints out decks that are fully extensible up and down but we build it into a concrete foundation where the only extension options are sideways. Then we bolt on safety join points to the house that prevent you from actually extending the deck at all. Then we only use the printing system once and throw it away. Then we complain that we over engineered the deck. But the deck? Rated for one ton
