I guess that depends on how you define "crappy". If by "crappy" you mean "spartan" then sure. If by "crappy" you mean the code is bad, then you're only racking up technical debt, not making progress. ALWAYS start with the simplest solution that does the job.

Yet most people start with the most complex solution they can come up with, even though they don't know what they're solving yet.
