I think there are 2 cases in real world scenario:

1) either you have the habit, energy and time to systematically rewrite your code properly through iteration;

2) or you are so good that your average throwaway code is considered not that bad.

Because mostly either we are going through well known paths which leads to case 2) or we’re exploring new things and being “skilled & experienced developers” we manage to have the right habits, energy and time to build things iteratively ending up in case 1).

If in the end we still have trashy code, then we need to ask ourselves if we are lacking any of the following: skills, energy, time or good habits (or a proper context, but that’s a whole other universe of problems).
