“Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A
little debt speeds development so long as it is paid
back promptly with a rewrite…Entire engineering
organizations can be brought to a standstill under
the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation,
object-oriented or otherwise.”
Ward Cunningham, Developer of the first wiki
