Unfortunately, that rewrite step often doesn't happen. I can't count the number of times a prototype that was meant to be thrown away was actually put into production because "it's cheaper and faster than rewriting."
- buffalobuffalo 2y agoYeah, there is that. I guess this comes with the caveat that you have to have enough say in the project that you can mandate a rewrite.
- doctor_eval 2y agoI’m working on a prototype now but I deliberately made it run entirely in the browser (indexeddb) to avoid the problem that I might be asked to put it in production!

- Sander_Marechal 2y ago"There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works" I have no idea who said that, but I use it a lot at work when people want to cut corners with the intent to fix it later.
