You see, my boss uses this exact quote almost everyday (brazilian as well), and now several teams have plenty of debt, missing patterns, stuff like this. These days people see this quote more like "something is better than nothing at all", and here we are, never satisfied with the engineering practices, always delivering something instead of delivering something good. It takes a cultural revamp to value good code from the beginning



Absolutely, do not use this as excuse to do something half-assed, but to create a prototype over a perfect plan / idea.
