Is your code easily deleted? That would be better than - is your code easily modified?

Change is hard, starting again is more fun.

I wish I could convince my org that the easier to delete items are far preferable to the over engineered ones.

It is fun, as we "know" that "build one to throw away" is wise advice. We still find every way possible to make it hard to throw what we are working on away.
