    I’ve recently come to appreciate the “refactor the code while you write it” and “keep possible future changes in mind” ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

      Yes, but once code becomes too spaghetti such that a “refactor while you write it” becomes too time intensive and error prone, it’s already too late.
