At google it was repeated that Sergey Brin used to say "all work is throwaway work, it's only the time horizon which is in question".

  It's kind trite to say “much is explained”, but… that explains so much about google.

    It doesn't really. There is plenty of old code at google, he was just saying it to people who were too scared of doing work they might need to throw away. The promotion process explains way more of what I think you are getting at.

    Throwing away code and throwing away products/features are completely different things, and only one of those is a real problem for end users.
