It means YAGNI <https://martinfowler.com/bliki/Yagni.html>. Don't 
overengineer it. :)

In Elm, if I refactor something, my typical experience is "once it 
compiles, it works." It's been a long time since I did C++, but my memory 
of that experience was a far cry from that.

It sounds like your C++ refactoring experience has been close to your Elm 
refactoring experience, which surprises me.
