This is good advice when you're new to a stack.
But, if you know better, do better please.
After writing tons of code, I've come to realize that 80% of the time, it takes about the same time to do it "right" (scalable/secure/modular) as it does to do it "OK".
Ex: Are plaintext passwords any faster to build/code than encrypted+salt passwords? Nope.
And, it's fine to intend to refactor later. But, too many organizations have no tolerance later to let engineers do things that don't have visible results. I've suffered through a stint of handling "legacy code" like that & it was painful & demoralizing.
