That Rust dev in Austin made me stop over-engineering everything

I was at a meetup last month and this guy looked at my Python script for a file rename tool. Said I had 3 classes too many for something that should be 20 lines. Watched him rewrite it in 10 minutes with just a loop and a dict. Now I ask myself if a function will do before I build a whole framework. Anyone else catch themselves doing too much for basic problems?

Did that script actually get simpler or just shorter to read?
