I don't think this is necessarily a wrong thing; I feel like really ground breaking/challenging development forces you to understand what you are building the farther you go along. It's always ideal to have perfect code the first time it's written, my experience is that this is never going to happen unless you have perfected what you are building to the point that you have code generators/boiler plate code to cover most of what you are building. With that said, very interesting article. Thank you for sharing your experience, it is very eye opening for me.
