The flip side is, you often don’t know what needs to be reusable until you’ve had some iterations. Wrong abstractions can be way worse, and also gain their own momentum.

The problem is that often these quick or maybe not reusable are written in such a haste that there's no breadcrumbs left to do the right thing whenever you are done getting that urgent thing out (most likely never because "everything is urgent" :( )
Exactly. “Everything is urgent” is the great burden of our time lol
