I much prefer a SWE culture that embraces iterative development, where "rewrites" and migrations are not feared and can be done safely and efficiently because care was taken during the design process to identify ontologies and system boundaries. Yes, the MVP takes a bit longer as a result.
If you don't iterate, and you push what is essentially v0.1.0 to production, you reinforce a culture where deleting code is sin and the concept of iteration ("rewriting") is foreign.
