I read that and thought, this is really about balance. On one extreme,
trying to implement something with no prior design is certainly a waste
of time. On the other extreme, a never-ending "design by committee",
with nothing ever produced, is also a waste of time.
We need to focus on a balance of design and implementation. When I
am faced with this issue in my own life, I stop and ask myself,
"Well, what parts am I really clear about, and know for sure I won't
later regret doing?" If we have anything that now, then maybe it's
time to start writing code. Otherwise, a little more design may be
in order.
Make sense? Agree?
