All three legs of the "first do it, then do it right, then do it better" stool are necessary parts of this philosophy / methodology. It's indeed a difficult and rarely-achieved practice. But personally, I think it's the better aspiration, even recognizing that it often gets stuck at the first step. I think the alternative of trying to start with "build it right" also usually falls into its own failure modes - analysis paralysis, crumbling under the weight of adding all the complexity all at once rather than iteratively, etc. - which in my view are even worse.
