(laughably aside, typical example of knowing the own field but not thinking 
the other parts of the problem are important as well)

interestingly enough, since i often wear 2 (3, 4...) hats, i often have this 
struggle even with myself (ok, this sounds quite schizophrenic ;)

so in the end the thing that becomes my opinion is the result of a weighted 
pro/cons of some thing being or not being implemented, in terms of perceived 
quality/experience by the user vs code quality vs maintanability etc, even 
tough the puzzle will be quite incomplete, given that of some fields i know, 
of some just uuh, kindof.

can we translate this train of tough to a multi people team? (therefore being 
more complete) i think we can and became not (too) bad at this, but it's for 
the other thread ;)
