I would argue otherwise. If you are a hardcore techie, you should soon realize that a man without paper, is like a Turing machine with finite or no tape. I never understood the statement sometimes made of rushing in and just outputting stuff without thinking and writing -- goes contrary to our engineering, informatics and scientific training I would like to argue. I do understand of course the need for experimentation/having the tires hit the road. P.S. I find I need to write more and these comments and post helps remind me that, so I grasp the opportunity to thank all the commenters for that.

It’s not so much in contradiction with a scientific background/training: you’ll still need to go through prototypes, drafts, rough ideas expressed before you can share/observe/analyse them. Creatively speaking (and writing is a creative endeavor, whatever the topic is), rushing in is like letting your mind breathe freely and empty it from what’s bothering it, so it can put it all out, and then allow it to focus/develop. In writing the cost of pen/paper is marginal, so you can afford it extensively.
