You can, but:

- Good code is what enables you to be able to build very complex software without an unreasonable number of bugs.

- Good code is what enables you to be responsive to changing customer needs and times. Whether you view that as valuable is another matter though. I guess it is a business decision. There have been plenty of business that have gone bust though by neglecting that.

Good code is for your own sanity, the machine does not care.
