>>Discovery code doesn't have to be bad code.

One of things that a lot of people are NOT used to- Always writing good code, no matter what you are writing it for.

A while back I was building a writing small snippets to fix a production issue. A colleague looked over my shoulder and said you don't have to do all that, just get it done for now.

He was quite surprised when he learned that is how I always wrote code. It feels like people have different coding styles for different situations. They do tend to have a mode where they are doing it for production, and they are quite slow at it.
