It's not unusual to do an insanely bad job of that first draft. Arguably, it means that you did a good job for the primary task of a first draft, which in software is usually figuring out what you should do and whether you should do it without paying too much attention to how.
There's perhaps a mistake in shipping that first draft, but usually that lies with management.

If you don’t ship it, you only learn some of the technical issues but not the customer facing ones. The mistake is often keeping it live past the time it is clear what the mistakes you made are and that they will kill you in the long term.
