Isn't that what so much of what programming is about? Invest all the work once up-front so that the next iterations are trivial?

- pixelrevision 8y agoOf course and it's fun! :) I also often find myself going through all the steps in one of these articles then when I'm all ready to reap the results of success I move on to something else.
- setr 8y agoThe trap is when you invest all the work up front.... and the next() call immediately returns StopIteration Which seems to happen quite often when people customize their software, especially up-front, instead of over time. I suppose you could describe it as waterfall-style customization
- tincholio 8y agoThis probably goes in waves for many people. When you just start, you're tempted to do all the clever little things you see online, and may end up being a bit lost. Once you've learned a bit more, it becomes second nature to a) make the tweaks you need and b) filter out those you don't. I, for one, enjoy the ability to adapt my editing/workflow as my needs evolve.
