writing new features and integrating them into preexisting code are/should be separate tasks. keeping them separate cuts down both on feature creep/"oh i'll just do this too while i'm here" and on tech debt caused by timidity in the face of old code.
relatedly, isolating features makes squashing/rebasing easier (especially now that github has those options), which makes pulling problematic code out easier.
