in reply to Enjoying Perl without doing much coding
This is what I like to call the Zen of programming. Thinking and learning about the problem domain is a good starting point before you do something. People who jump into coding without understanding what they are trying to do, may end up having to rewrite from scratch.
In software engineering, understanding is king. Planning comes in a close second. Rambling around is fun for a while, until the coder with the plan rushes past you half-way through your project.
