I see this so often. It's how terrible software is written because people are afraid to change direction or learn anything new mid project.
I rewrite most of my code 2-3 times before I'm done and I'm still 5x faster than anyone else, and significantly higher quality and maintainability as well. People spend twice as long writing the ugliest, hackiest code as they would have to just learn to do it right
