In my opinion pen and paper are fundamental. Not just in design, but also in programming. There's a lot to be gained by just thinking over and sketching ideas for something rather than just diving into action.
- mcbetz 11y agoI could not agree more about the role of paper for coding. I used to jump right into action and got lost very quickly in details and gave up soon after. Now I try to slow myself down and do sketches about quite everything. Database design seems to be of a special importance, as it hurts so much the find out later that you did not think hard enough and forgot too many cases that you need to incorporate in your database schema. Slowing down with all screens off and mind on certainly makes a huge difference in my workflow.
