> i cannot agree with building code specifically so that it is readily disposable
This is the crux of our differing point of view. Mine is: all code is trash, and business requirements change.
I don't advocate for disposable code, but to at least spend a second thinking that it will eventually no longer provide a business value in line with its support burden, and to recognize that it may have some day reach the end of its lifetime of effectiveness. The code that strongly resists scaling is always the ones who baked in assumptions about the current situation (technical environment & business needs) that are extremely hard to unwind.
