Embrace the Duality of Coding: Explore Boldly, Refine Relentlessly

Programming involves two distinct modes: exploratory and production. In exploratory mode, quick prototyping takes precedence, utilizing unfamiliar programming languages to generate multiple options and visualize concepts. This creative phase allows one to experiment freely. In contrast, production mode focuses on refining code to be shipped, treating the coding process like collaborating with a highly efficient intern who easily executes commands and quickly iterates on requests. This intern-like approach facilitates rapid development and allows for endless revisions without concern for emotional fatigue, leading to significant productivity gains. Embracing both modes enhances the coding experience and output quality.
