When writing any application, its important to discover the architectural problems early on. This helps you and your team to avoid unresolvable technical debt. Most of the time we as a developer tend to postpone some of the required activity(like writing comments, refactoring code for better readability or improving the codebase to handle upcoming complex requirements) on a later date for keeping our focus on getting main things done.
