Getting a working model out there, even if it's not 100% finished would also seem to work insofar as it lets the market feedback very quickly. Very interesting perspective.

Amen. I only wish some people didn't need so much hindsight to reach this seemingly unanimous conclusion about code. Nice concise summary of your experience, thanks :) “Now, when coding, I try to think: “how can I write this such that if people saw my code, they’d be amazed at how little there is and how little it does”.”

Yours seems to be written in the way you realized these things when you hadn't already realized them. Awesome!
