Indeed.

There are certainly cases where I can say "this is a critical path that I should spend some time optimizing more", or "this part is going to have to cope with a lot of different situations and I should think about it in advance", but in most cases "hey this works" prevails.

Sometimes a day, a week or a few months later I see "oh, didn't expect this to happen, now I guess it needs some refactoring", but that's a lot better than having delayed everything else I worked on by trying to predict the future and accomplishing nothing.
