> A piece of advice I've given junior engineers is to write everything twice. Solve the problem. Stash your code onto a branch. Then write all the code again. I discovered this method by accident after the laptop containing a few days of work died. Rewriting the solution only took 25% the time as the initial implementation, and the result was much better.

This is true, and I've discovered it myself by losing a branch.

However, who the hell has time to write everything twice? There's 1,000 things waiting to be written once.
