Agree with the premise. I currently work with a PM that is simply terrified of introducing any technical debt or "throwaway work". Mind you, he isn't writing or maintaining any of the code himself. It's like pulling teeth getting him to realize that we have to ship some product in order to learn, and some of what we will learn will be what is WRONG with our product and needs to change (aka throwaway work) and that every codebase eventually becomes a legacy codebase (aka technical debt). I think we've done ourselves a very big disservice as an industry by focusing on this boogeyman.
