From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Lobsters, shortened. Read the full thread on Lobsters.
This is kinda shit advice. You should think more and code less. Think for two hours and find a 4 line diff instead of mindlessly coding for 30 minutes to build a 400 line diff that you need to debug for 5 hours.
I think this is a long winded way of saying you should do research and think up front?
it’s the secret to fast coding, not the secret to good coding.
