Except at the highest level of abstraction, my Lucidchart diagrams and Google docs never survive their first encounter with the compiler. There always turns out to be some fatal flaw that's obvious in an editor but totally escaped me in the word processor. My (limited) experience has been teaching me the opposite: dive in as quickly as I can and write some code to explore the problem space, then go think harder about a design after getting my feet wet.
