Most code will not exist after a decade.
All code is temporary.
When all is said and done, the only valuable thing left for the developers involved is the knowledge, experience and joyful memories of having worked through the process.
And of course, the eternal truths, non existent entities like math, algorithms and data remain.
It is not unlike monks that meditate and draw beautiful art in the sand, only to wipe it all out.
So always do what satisfies you and is most enjoyable, because that's all that matters. The product releases, deadlines... are just momentary waves in the ocean.
Tell that to the project managers.
I sure will ask 'what do you think about deadlines? What do you really feel about deadlines?'.
