Well, everyone aspires to create a good design. I don't there are
programmers who set out to make a poor design. Often times it just
isn't possible to come up with a good design on the very first attempt.
It could be that you failed to comprehend the entire scope of the
application. It could be there were unanticipated technical roadblocks.
It could simply be that the requirements had suddenly changed. A more
pertinent question I think is how quickly one can recover when a design
decision turns out to be a mistake. The flexibility of PHP is a real
advantage here.
