Yeah I have the same. In general, writing (and experimenting) is how I _think_. If I read code, it takes me a lot longer to understand. Sure, I save some time

Yeah I have the same. In general, writing (and experimenting) is how I _think_. If I read code, it takes me a lot longer to understand. Sure, I save some time by not having to do any trial and error, I'm looking at a solution that already works according to some testing. But then I start to wonder about edge cases, leaky abstractions and such, and not having done the work, that's where a lot of the effort saved by not writing it comes back, at a stage where the work is seemingly already done and "just" needs reviewing, which is somehow more frustrating. Perhaps people are just different. I work great on a blank canvas. I know a lot of people struggle immensely with it. Hell, some people type so slow or have such low mastery of their tools, I really feel their pain watching them.
