This is a good way to maximize speed. I'm not convinced it's also a good way to master quality. Rushing ("speedrunning") to a first working version may force you to choose sub-optimal paradigms (algorithms, data types, etc.) that you won't have the time or the will to correct later.

I'd even postulate that's why we have so many crap applications today that are first on the market but slow, inefficient and user unfriendly.

If premature optimization is the root of all evils, totally disregarding it leads to painful refactoring.
