This a million times over. The number of projects I've seen where people try to apply the same (and often only) framing they know, and try to force the problem through the lens of that framing...
Many technical-looking problems actually require a conceptual solution. Reframe before you start hacking...

Reminds of NPC and the value of reductions, if only P=NP is solved haha

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them... Einstein

Naaah, just start hacking... Your miserable failure and frustration, given your flawed concepts, is what spurs both the identification and the serious thinking about the conceptual problems.

You d lose too much time this way, start w a pencil and paper then sheets then coding

So many yesses for this. Countless times I've fought with a problem only to realize that a reconceptualization simplified the problem, often leading to a beautiful restructuring of that section.

100%, smart will learn this less than 2 years into coding

I tend to agree, but in many ways conceptual and abstract tools ressemble programs : a common saying (see the xkcd) is that automating a task isn't quite worth it if building the program takes significantly more time than repeating the task many times.. 1/2

In the same way, refining and building a concept or abstraction for a task is often hard and time-consuming. In many scenarios, one should accept that abstractions are costlier than simply repeating the task ad nauseam.
2/2
