For sure. I'd argue to write the "stupid" code to get started, get that momentum going. The sooner you are writing code, the sooner you are making your concept real, and finding the flaws in your mental model for what you're solving.
I used to try to think ahead, plan ahead and "architect", then I realized simply "getting something on paper" corrects many of the assumptions I had in my head. A colleague pushed me to "get something working" and iterate from there, and it completely changed how I build software. Even if that initial version is "stupid" and hack-ish!
