Yes, which is what the parent said:

"all of the things you punted, ignored, assumed, patched over, and otherwise haphazardly threw together in version 1.0"

No, sorry it isn't. Fred Brookes goes into detail when he coins the term "Second System Effect", and it definitely doesn't refer to half-arsed, half-debugged, haphazardly thrown together anything from version 1.0.

The Second System Effect is specifically about new features.
