I'd say it's also a great strategy for throwaway prototypes (which I'd count as a kind of learning anyway: learning about your future product, its requirements, obstacles, etc).
The problem/trap in that case is, a lot of throwaway code ends up not being thrown away in the end, up to and including the prototype becoming the product (even if it was never meant to be).
- godelski 4mo agoI love to throw away code. It seems people are afraid because it feels like wasted work. But I'll rewrite code multiple times. I'm convinced it makes me faster. We're running marathons, not sprints
