I've started joining design meetings for a new streamlined way for nurses to do their tasks in the EHR. Multiple times now we've got stuck in a little back and forth about how to do something, and someone suggests a setting to allow either option. And each time I try to interject "no settings!". It's a pain for support and code maintenance, increases potential bugs, and means that some organizations could get left behind on new features that aren't compatible with niche settings that they refuse to change.


You sound like the Gnome developers!


Indeed. I wish more developers were willing to take such a principled stance. (Though given the vitriol they endure I understand why most don't.)
