The article refers to "the much-abused YAGNI" and links to another blog post that goes into detail. Apparently some people take YAGNI to mean never anticipate anything. Is that your experience? I've always taken it as a tie-breaker when you're unsure whether to anticipate or not, and I've had the impression that others take it the same way.
Overall I like this article and the YAGNI one it links to.
