I think most companies do do this, on a rolling basis with different parts of the product.

Except by “dump every six months” it’s more like “after six months don’t add much to that anymore, unless we can dedicate a good three weeks to hacking it into place. And then dump the whole component in three years”.

Since your customer base and business requirements are likely to turn completely over in 3 years this makes some (perverse) sense for a startup.
