How can one accurately predict that the code won't be changing in the future? If you needed to get something done once, isn't there a good chance that in the future someone else, including your future self, may need to rely on or modify it?

It’s contextual. E.g. if you’re in a situation very similar to past situations where you threw the code away afterwards, you can be pretty confident that you’ll throw it away this time too.
