"The right way to do things the first time is the way that gets it working the fastest so you can see if your solution even makes sense.

The right way to rewrite it once that works is to make it fault-tolerant and scalable.

The wrong thing to do is build a giant system first, and try to account for every possibility."

Great quotes. There are exceptions, such as when you're making a libarary, utilities, or APIs, but in most cases, you ain't gonna need it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aint_gonna_need_it).
