Design or Debug

Short summary

Planning before coding catches contradictions and missed dependencies early, preventing costly rework. Skipping design doesn't eliminate problem-solving—it defers it to debugging with amplified impact. Intentional design produces cleaner, more maintainable code aligned to how the problem actually decomposes.

• •Design catches contradictions early, before expensive code rework becomes necessary
• •Skipping upfront planning defers work to debugging, where impact is far more destructive
• •Intentional design produces cleaner, maintainable code reflecting the problem structure
