If you could package this up in a motivational poster, it belongs in every company meeting room. Speed and quality are not two opposing forces to tradeoff. We can have both. But we need to get rid of this silly, infantile, unwavering attachment to our source code files. Throw code away. All. the. time. The first version of code is, by definition, being built in the absence of critical information. Why on earth would we get so attached to that which was built in ignorance? In this case we're not "reusing code", we're throwing away knowledge! Why would you discard everything valuable you learned in favor of a code artifact written before you learned it? Throw away the code instead! Surely the code written AFTER gaining the knoweldge will be both faster and better quality. (and more clear, less tech debt, etc)
