I remember those days. To this day, I still comment out the old code and leave it until I'm 100% sure of the new code. Hopefully this is -before- I commit to source control, but sometimes it's not. Also, shotgun coding isn't a bad thing in itself. Code, then optimize. In other words, just get it working, then rewrite it better. It's usually faster and cleaner in the end.
