What I think is a better way to say this is that you need a `design` phase before actually writing the first `real` implementation code. Something I do a lot, and even more with the LLMS, is that I make `scratch` projects where I sketch code over and over (and maybe make mockups in Keynote or similar, make some notes, etc), then write from scratch again in the real codebase.
