It really depends what your goals are. I often have a problem I want to solve in my personal life, and not very much time. (Ex: code that makes the figures for a blog post.) So I write quickly, doing the minimum to get it done.
I would never do that in a work context, because the environment there is so different, but it's often the right trade-off for things I'm doing for fun.
(And I still make all the code open source because, well, it might be useful to someone even in the state it's in)
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoAbsolutely. I don't make any value judgements at all. I am quite aware that my own workflow is not for everyone, and is not inherently "better," in any way. I do a lot of self-discipline "tricks," in order to enforce a certain habitual workflow, and this is one of them. Many folks get far more done than I do, using very different techniques. I just enjoy the process and the Craft, as much as I do the end result. One significant advantage, for me, is that I never have to worry about cleaning the house before the boss comes over for tea.
