Anyone who’s had anything to do with large-scale computer programs, especially online (I’m speaking here from sorrowful experience)knows that nothing ever works right the first time out. (Or the second, either. It takes a bit of time to straighten out a large system.)
I’d add; avoid it at all costs, forever.
