Never rush to code. Something my seniors taught me, plan first. Like really plan it in your head, writing the final thing down takes very little time. Figuring all of it out, that is what takes skill and patience

I personally can't completely agree with this but maybe I'm different with that topic.
I love the code first approach.
For instance for planning an Api it is incredible useful to me to write the code down how you will eventually use the api even though it does not exist yet.
It helps me understanding how the interfaces will be designed.
Also helps me in the frontend how components can be designed if I start writing the top component and how it will use the not yet existing sub components.
Nevertheless I still use the whiteboard for umls and other stuff.

This is so true!! When I first started out, I used to be so excited to jump into the code and get lost in it. Dozens of bugs later, I could say I'm a bit more wise
