You bring up an interesting point. Design vs execution. It reminds me of all my psych major classes where we discussed nature vs nuture.

There are definitely those times when coding I see a problem and the solution is obviously a quick design change. Other times I know the solution is in the functionality. Often enough I believe it falls into a blend of the two.

So the philosophical question of being a developer is "How do I find the balance of function and design in my code?" I don't have an answer, but I believe it is the question we will all be continually pondering along our coding journey.

Thanks so much for your story and feedback!!!
