Absolutely there's a place for throwaway code and I even make a point of always writing it in such a way that there's no possible way it can end up being part of a production solution that ends up in front of customers.
- wpietri 4y agoThat's one solution. But a more healthy one is building a relationship such that temporary code can ship and then get removed. I've been a part of teams that did this all the time with experiments. We'd hack it together any old way for the experiment and ship it. Then when we had enough data, we'd remove the experimental code and do it right based on what we learned from the trial.
