    Yes! I am a big fan of stepping away from the keyboard and actually thinking about what the plan needs to be. Just in case anyone wonders why I'm on the beach again. (The beach is in St Andrews and it's usually blowing a gale, but the point stands...)https://twitter.com/hillelogram/status/1107754119627001859 …

    That there can be significant benefits to doing design up-front, as in spending several days working through your designs before you actually implement them. That's what I've been talking about this entire time.

        Also you have to look out for stray flying golf balls, which hampers the thought process a bit.

        During the most stressful times of that job I scheduled "lie down in a field" time

        I sometimes prefer the woodland walk. Either way, when you're doing nothing it can be the most productive time. Also this whole discussion reminds me of a colleague's t-shirt which says "weeks of coding can save hours of planning".

        If you can work it out in your head first and find it can’t be done then you can save a lot of time by not writing the program - takes a few years practice to do this

        I agree to this statement. A house built on good foundations is better than a house built on bad ones.
