Earlier in my career I ate up the lean startup, move fast and break things, y combinator stuff. And while there are some very good lessons there, I’ve also come to realize that when you stop working on a part of the code, that may very well be the last time someone goes in there to make serious changes for a while. So sometimes it makes sense to do it right, even if it takes a few days longer (but not if it’s going to turn into some massive overengineering project).
