I sometimes see people complaining about how much code gets "thrown away", viewing it as waste.
I can't help thinking of movie directors. How much footage got thrown away by Stanley Kubrick, vs how much got thrown away by Ed Wood?
Kubrick famously did many takes, trying many different things. Wood, famously, gave the actors one take.
IME, teams who "throw away" a lot of code tend to deliver a far superior end product. I'm wary when most of the code that gets written makes it into production.
