>>Don't worry about good code at a startup.

Totally depends on the startup. Building a new blog engine? Sure, go wild. Making financial software? You need to be very careful, and write good, secure code.

I think this depends on the type of the product. It's important that the team allows and finds the right spot to restart with more focus on architecture and code quality to not loose motivation of later employees

Everyone should listen to this man. Job security anyone?
