++ for #1.
There are dozens of projects I've supported that were built by guys who banged it out in a couple of weeks, or a month or so of development, and it's almost always built for a single purpose. The moment the business starts thinking about other ways to use it, it becomes a mess.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of businesses who think they can get ramped up with a tiny, banged out product to sell and then 'scale up'...when in reality, they have a throwaway toy on their hands.

The same people will willingly dig out problems and fix them in production when all else fails. People queue at your door if you have these skills. Mediocre programmers create a lucrative market for unicorn shit as I was once told.
