Yes, but if you don't avoid it, you might never get off the ground to the point where you have years of time and tons of money in the first place.

I guess it depends on the viewpoint. Yours sounds valid. Mine comes from the occasional fixing people's messes. But I agree with you, some product is better than no product in most cases.

I have a lot of career experience dealing with legacy software. I feel that pain intensely. But still... a working product with bugs and flaws is better than a not-working product that is elegantly built. Or half-built.
