Hands off the keyboard. There's a lot of learning to be had in taking the time to read and understand others code, in taking the time to really grok any brownfield system that you're working on, and in spending some time with the documentation. There's a lot of work you can save yourself by taking the time to assemble a clear plan of attack before you start hacking. (And if you're doing BDD, writing Gherkin files counts as hacking.) There's a whole lot of rework, wasted effort, and end-user aggravation that you can save by really getting to know the business domain you're operating in.
