Question
I'm planning to work/start on a few personal projects that could end up as my daily job. It made me think, which way should I start?
Just prototype—write just working basic code that could cost me tons of time optimizing and refactoring for easy expansion.
Write clean, optimized and documented code from the very beginning, keeping in mind that if after some time it won't be cost-effective, it will be dropped.
Update: Combining YAGNI with sunpech and M.Sameer answers makes perfect sense to me :) thank you everyone for help.
