Write code and experiment instead of talking and planning
I want to have a chat with the computer in its own language right from the start. "But your attempts will lead you on so many fruitless avenues!" the committee heads admonish me. "You will waste so much time! Let's have a grand plan and write the perfect solution right from the start, ehh?"
- amatecha 2y agoYeah, in my experience, basically every time too much time is spent planning rather than doing, it has a huge cost in lost time that could have been better spent proving out the foundation of the idea which would immediately inform the next steps. I've seen it so frequently. I'd rather build a quick prototype we can iterate on and prove the concept. It keeps everyone/everything grounded in a tangible reality that speaks for itself and takes the guesswork out of building.
