Very relatable. Within the context of a single startup this definitely applies. However, in the span of your career, I like to ask — do you want to get fast at writing good code or writing bad code? You won't get perfect code of course, but at the very least you can learn to churn out code that's easy to change. It's not the same thing as expressive code, but it does the job at a startup. (I wrote another article[1] on the topic of writing code that's easy to change a disappointing number of years ago.)
