> Why should complexity and over-engineering be considered best practices for a beginner?
I'm still not clear on where the idea that this is a "best practice" is coming from. Is there some context I am missing?
Aside from the editorialized title, all I can find is an assertion of "following best practices", which does not even imply that it is trying to establish best practices (of any sort, let alone around efficiency or complexity), merely that the author tried to follow
some best practices established elsewhere. It is understood that to follow opens the possibility of veering off course, so unless the beginner is also a beginner with spoken language, it would not be taken to mean that this demonstrates best practices.
