As the old saying goes, "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution".

In the context of software development, it means that "prototypes" get shipped as production code all the time.

As such it functions as a loan and your organization should strive to pay back the debt when it can. Nothing can save you if you never get a calmer period.
