My interpretation was more like "do not focus too much on the form of your code, while you are figuring things out". Which I think is decent advice.

The classic line "Make It Work, Make It Right, Make It Fast"[1] may have communicated this concept in a better way (with each step explained).

Yes. There is also "wrong abstraction is worse than code duplication".
