Very good. I believe in the same principle; whatever is not in the final application is in the dumpster. My personal belief is that in the prototyping phase, you should not be doing anything you cannot repeat on demand a month from now, if you need it. If you have an idea that will take major thought or hacking to get right, then that should be a side job to expand a code library or design scrapbook, rather than part of a prototype. I’ve found that when you explain to clients “this is not the end product”, they don’t really care about the gears behind it as long as it looks like it will work. There is rarely any need to do something so complex that you have to keep it past the prototyping stage.
