There are structural parallels between quantum measurement and the experience of "now":
| Property | Quantum measurement | The present moment |
|---|---|---|
| Selects one outcome from many | Yes | Yes |
| Irreversible | Yes (wavefunction collapse) | Yes (past becomes fixed) |
| Creates definite classical reality | Yes | Yes |
| The "before" is indeterminate | Superposition | Open future |

Here is some opinionated guidance maybe to save some part of your valuable lifetime. The following topics focus on: development, architecture and maintainability.
The primary advice after John Skeet: Just solve your issue in the simplest possible way. Limit the boundaries: what are the requirements? Don't try to solve meta-level problems of every software engineer ever. Draft the boundaries even if you're writing a general library: Users can compose multiple small libraries if necessary. Expect your requirement specifications, if any, could be better, that's life.
