I find throwaway code to be freeing and fun. I don’t have to worry so much about making the perfect abstraction, or some DRYness optimizations. I’ve also had my share of throwing making it into production. The secret is keeping it simple. Simple code can always be optimized later. It can always be optimized if it’s simple. Besides, the junior developers need something to bust their chops on anyway right? Often times when someone takes over the project I’ve already listed in the library and in comments what can and should be improved.
